"The simple answer is, if you don't have enough poll workers, you can't open polling locations," Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose told CNN.During the 2016 election, nearly 1 million poll workers staffed voting locations across the country, according to the US Election Assistance Commission. And even before the pandemic, 65% of jurisdictions reported it was"somewhat difficult" or"very difficult" to attract enough poll workers.

Happy to report that over 180 new poll workers signed up in my Florida county.

Strange how Covid seems to come and go day by day in peoples lives depending on what's important to them, and yet it's not.

I signed up and received an email saying all positions were filled because they had an overwhelming number of people volunteer

And in person voting and the same as we have aways voted is the way to go!!

Thank You All!!!
