My kid, 17, just left to work the polls!
= new reply since forum marked as read
We had high school girls working for credits. They liked us so much they asked to come back.
Really enjoyed how we handled the occasional snippy voter who objected to showing photo ID.
My solution? When they came to me I pushed a paper toward them telling them we really needed help at the polls, would they care to sign up? This was after they argued with the young girls.
They did a great job and think they learned so much.
Love them.
You must be so proud. That’s great. I’m so proud of the people who do this to keep democracy humming along. Helps out those who can’t due to age or health concerns. Fantastic! 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
