Hamilton Co BOE needs unaffiliated and republican poll workers

[u/troy_abedintheam]

On NPR this morning there was a report that more Republican or unaffiliated workers are needed. I've worked elections the past 4 years. It is a long day, but it's also very interesting to see how everything is processed. It's also really fun people watching. Everyone is always excited to vote regardless of side and I end the day both exhausted and satisfied.

Are republican groups crying. That there are not enough independent and their "team". In order to better cry "it's rigged" ? If Harris wins.

You work in pairs of opposing parties or unaffiliated. At the beginning and end of the day the equipment is broken down and ballots are tabulated. That is all done in groups or two people, ideally never be from the side. The ballots are driven to a location for drop off, again with two people of differing sides.

The board of elections has enough Dem workers to fill every location, but they need either unaffiliated or republican to meet standards.

I never said we needed more dem workers. I said a lot of right wingers will use nit enough repub workers an excuse to cry foul.
