Reply #2: I totally agree. They say they have to because they can't get them

But there are simple procedures to get more people working the polls.

Think about this: Have everybody work a 6-hour shift. Make it a paid day off if people work the polls and/or help as official vote counters. That passes the burden, in a light way, to employers. Also, possibly, make it a national holiday, but not necessarily a paid day off, to encourage people to vote.

I think if the above was implemented, we'd have more people than we could even use!

There is the distinct possibility that if we don't get ourselves involved using natural incentives, that the thing will get privatized.
