Paid pollworkers needed throughout Florida

[Slaughtermeyer]

I received the following email from Florida DFA organizer David Reiter just now:

Every year, thousands of Floridians help make it possible for citizens
to exercise one of their most fundamental rights -- the right to vote.

This year, new voting machines may result in serious problems at the
polls. The best way to ensure that every voter's rights are respected
is for you to be there -- working at the polls and helping voters cast
their ballots -- on Election Day.

So in order to support our democracy, Working Assets and our partner
organizations have created the "Pollworkers for Democracy" project --
a nonpartisan effort to get more people involved in supporting our
elections. We'll provide you with information to supplement your
pollworker training -- and also a system to report and track any
problems on election day.

Many Florida counties are reporting a shortage of pollworkers for the
September 5th primary election, and almost all need additional
pollworkers for the November 7th general election. By signing up as a
pollworker, you can support our democratic system...and get paid at
the same time!

There many long-time pollworkers in Florida waiting for the
opportunity to pass on their wisdom and experience to the next
generation of citizen pollworkers. As our voting systems become more
complicated and less transparent, it behooves us as citizens to step
in and help our democracy work.

I have been doing this for over 20 years. Very enjoyable, but make no mistake it is hard work.
