@#10 ... it requires a background check and is a hell of a lot of work for near minimum wage. ...
I remember a couple of encounters with election workers in my town.
The first was an election worker who was a neighbor of mine. She and her husband had known me for years. I went to parties in their next-door house.
But, when I showed up to vote one year, she was the official officiating.
I walked up to the table and she asked, may I see your ID please.
She knew who I was, yet she still did her assigned job. I respected her for that.
Fast forward to a few years later...
I went to vote.
I walked into the lobby of our Town Hall on my way to the voting area.
There she was, standing there. Along with a State Trooper.
I walked towards her, and I noticed the Trooper became active.
So I slowed down and let her come towards me.
We hugged and asked about how we were.
The Trooper backed off.
Kudos to that State Trooper for his appropriate response.
