My final post about #elections is to BEG you. Please volunteer. Fairfax pays $250 for the day, which isn’t bad. Not all jurisdictions pay. We need people to come learn how to be election officers. It is 2 elections days a year and 2-4 hours of video training once a year.
We need new people! We need younger people! I’m in my 50s. My chief was in his late 70s. My 19-year old son was the youngest officer in his precinct by 40 years. He said “everyone in my precinct was talking about their grandkids. I AM the grand kid.”
We need you. Many hands make light work. You can do this. It’s fun. It’s fascinating. It is #democracy in action! Please consider working your local polls, wherever you are. By and large, the only mandatory qualification to be an election officer (or “election judge”) is often just being a registered voter.
Please help or encourage people you know to help!
Good night!
