We can't find anyone to work the polls after the old timer's left. They were prompt, dedicated and liked the job. Now we beg people to please come out for the day. It is a hassle we have had for the past several years.

You might lobby for passage of a law simular to one of TN's new ones. We now allow 17 yr olds to work in the polls, although they can't vote. We are a small county and so far only have one worker. He is interested, polite to those that come in to vote and he tries his best to do a good job!

This gives young people a chance to earn some money for the day, but most important it wets their interest in perserving the right to vote! Hopefully it also shows them the importance of the vote and that we NEED young interested poll workers!
