I was an election worker for my county. Never again. My efforts could have been MUCH better spent as an unpaid volunteer for the GOP. I'm going to poll watch in 2006.
Even as an election worker we can be of tremendous service to the GOP. I am a precinct chairman and I hired three pretty committed democrats for this election. I treated them VERY well. So well in fact that they asked that if I ever needed them again they would be very happy to work. I believe that we have to smash the stereotype they have of us. We are not cold-hearted, money-hungry, racist, homo-phobes. We are pretty nice people who like to play by the rules.
