POLL WORKERS [View all]

I would like to take this time to thank all of the poll workers out there that are counting all of the votes cast in this election.

In an ordinary election you count the votes and a winner can be projected by that night. This ensures that our democracy is protected. For ballots that are too close to call it takes awhile. As evidenced in several States with this election.

Add to this the Pandemic which made massive numbers of citizens mail in there ballots and the turmoil stirred up by 45 and you get a volatile situation.

Poll workers need to be escorted by police to and from their cars when they are not in the buildings housing the counting machines.

GIVE ME A BREAK

IT HAS COME TO THIS IN THE WORLD'S GREATEST NATION.
