Yep, we're the ones behind that desk you lean over to sign your name and get your ballot.
We're the ones who are up around 4-4:30 am to get to the polling place by 5 am to set up shop.
Polls in New York are open from 6 am - 9 pm.
And after we close up shop, phone in results, and one of us (usually me) delivers the big blue suitcase to a Board of Elections drop-off point (usually a city hall), we don't get home until after 10-10:30 pm.
But we do it. Primary and/or special elections and general elections. Year in and year out.
