It's the set up & take down that are the killers.

I wish we could set it up the night before in a locked/secured building. Then a team come help w/ the breakdown. By the end of the day I can barely lift a cup of water let alone a printer, ballot device,...

It's a hard days work, especially if you're a Manager or Assistant Manager. Where I worked in Gwinnett, we would do a setup Monday evening - position tables, put up signs, ready the provisional booths, position scanners, position those awful UPS's. Tuesday morning was a beehive of activity, with the reverse in the evening. Then the Manager had to deliver the tapes and memory devices to headquarters, along with the manuals and other miscellaneous stuff. Usually at least 12 hours of work, even with the early preparation.

I kinda miss it, but then again not.
