YOUR HELP IS NEEDED, PLEASE!


The much-anticipated recount of the Washington State Governor's race will commence on Wednesday December 8, 2004 in King County at 9010 East Marginal Way South, Tukwila, WA 98108. King County Elections has requested the help of the King County Democrats in staffing this effort; We will be working closely with the State Party and the Gregoire staff in case there are any changes to the following plan, however for now we need to make sure we are ready to go with what the elections office has asked us to do. The plan right now is:


- Three member boards: a Democratic designee, a Republican designee, and a recorder recruited by King County Elections -

-All three members of the board will be employed by King County and subject to their workplace rules and guidelines

-All workers will be asked to subscribe to an oath attesting to their role in the recount process


--Work schedule will be a six-day workweek with ten-hour work shifts daily (weekend days will vary)

--Availability for the entire recount period is a requirement; however, only 60 people are needed on the first two or three days

--Completion of a King County employment application; compensation at $12.70 per hour (You will need photo identification (WSDL or passport) and your social security card
