No, it isn’t a coveted job, as when the precinct is heavily democratic, they often appoint two democrats as there are no republicans. Our advice last night was to get on board now, and they will apply for a waiver in the precincts where there are no republican volunteers. They need time to train you and apply for the waiver. It can be done.
Thanks so much Constitutions Grandchild! Helpful information across the board as well as your info. for the original poster. Hope the poster is able to contribute as he/she set out to do.
