What an Election Day!
I normally wouldn’t describe a 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. workday as a fabulous experience, but my first time working at my local poll site on Election Day qualified. Voter turnout was the highest any of the experienced Election Day workers had seen outside of a presidential election. It was hot and crowded and a…
