1. I would love to, but...

You must first sign an affidavit affirming your loyalty to one of the major parties. If you are an independent or follow a minor party, you are forbidden by law from being a poll worker.

2. You're thinking of poll observers

This is different--we're talking the worker bees who sit behind the tables at polling stations.
