To pollwork or not: the missed questions

My local county sent out a survey to its most recent pollworkers, asking anonymously if they would be willing to work the June and Nov elections, and what precautions they would want.

BUT IMO, they missed asking two key questions:
1. Are you afraid of infecting your SO, parent, or other family members or friends if you worked at the polls?
2. Are you afraid of what would happen to your relatives if you died?

It can be done....healthcare workers, Nurses...they do it every day now...I prefer mail in ballots...but, some republican run states...won't let this happen... We can be poll workers if we are forced.
