“Okay, what exactly is “poll work”...and how does it help.”
If you contact your local Republican party, they have poll workers to do various things to Get Out The Vote (GOTV).
Jobs include making phone calls, visiting polls the day of voting to bring back info about who has voted or not yet, helping with driving people, coordinating yard signs and stuff.
Thanks Persevero!
However, will not be driving an obama voter to the polls.
