SO many questions from people too...even though the whole process is straight forward...people are in a hurry and stressed! Especially since many online sites that give you your ballot... didn't have question 5 on it. Lots of people were like "what is this one" and we said it's totally fine to take out your phone and look up ballot questions. A lot of people thought phones were not allowed. They aren't...if you're using them to record people and be harassing about it.

It was fun. I was the youngest volunteer there by at least 30yrs. Got to hear funny stories from the old ladies. Our security officer had a K9, who was a very sweet German shepard. Highly recommend volunteering to be a poll worker. I got into it because covid in 2020, as older workers were hesitant to volunteer because they were at higher risk. Kept at it since. More volunteering means more precincts can be open... so it increases voting access.

Finished up volunteering as a poll worker at the worcester tech precinct for most of the day! Good amount of people, especially younger ones! Good amount of first time voters who just turned 18 and really wanted to do it in person.

If you need to bring your kids along, that's totally fine! In fact all the little kids I saw loved seeing the process of voting. In fact right now the average time is less than 10min to check in a fill out those ballot bubbles! So go now!

Democracy dies in darkness....so vote!!

HEY YOU! I already did! Mailed it in last Monday. So much easier and no lines or traffic. Really should be a Saturday holiday.

If you don’t vote, don’t participate in our electoral system, can spare two hours every two years, you don’t get to bitch and complain. GET OUT AND VOTE!

You're so fragile that reading about other people working an industry you aren't involved in made you sick? Hearing about the success of others made you ill? Poor baby, how DO you ever get out of the house?
