Have you ever been an election day worker? What did you do?

I work every election driving the disabled and veterans to their polling place.

I was a precinct captain in the 1976 election. I had to be there extra early to set it all up, made sure all the different steps were covered by the precinct workers, closed it at 8 o’clock and took the ballots down to the county clerk’s office. I got paid $12 for a 13 hour day.

Yes, at every election. I sit, with a Rep. cohort, at a little table next to the registration table and cross off each voter, by party, as they sign in. In fact, I am about to leave for my shift now.

I spent 3 years as the Judge of Elections. I was supposed to determine which ballots were spoiled, and correct other irregularities. I also had to take the ballots to the court house.

I have worked several elections as a poll worker, once as an inspector. @zenvelo is right. You don’t get paid shit.
I also worked for a campaign, and handled phone calls at the campaign headquarters. For that, I don’t get paid.

No, one doesn’t work elections to get rich. One does it out of a sense of duty.
