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.

Thanks for voting!
And it would be great if Mass could make turn it into something like the Blue Law holidays. Though with early voting and access to mail in ballots it does take away a bit of pressure.

Thanks for helping out! It's a lot of work to run an election, even if it's "just" the midterms

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!

Agreed. Seems like someone told the writer, who's usually good, "Write something that says business downtown is bad."

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?

Yeah this article definitely feels...pointless. Main St being slow isn't a new take by any means, and the article doesn't really focus on a fault nor a solution. It just kind of...let a few business owners gripe without talking about anything else.

Reply to Long Runs in Worcester by Robespierrexvii
Hi! I have a bunch of go-to long routes (all side walk) on the RunGo app:

I like zigzagging through the residential area on the other side of Elm park all the way up to Cooks pond and the parks up there.
