ALL IN POLLWORKERS’ HANDS.
Lines, registration problems, what you can or can’t wear. All of these issues now and on Election Day may come down to how they are handled by volunteer pollworkers. Pollworkers work long hours often with minimal compensation. Many states and localities are actively recruiting more volunteers in an effort to stay ahead of the rush on Election Day.
