Go. Vote. Now.
Nov. 6th, 2012 05:03 amI am getting ready to head in to work the polls. I'll be there from 5:30 this morning until at least 8:30 tonight. Just about everyone who works the polls (at least in Ohio, but I'm fairly sure this is true of other states as well) is a volunteer. So if you're in the US today and you haven't voted yet, and you're eligible to vote, 1) don't waste our effort! Come out and vote! and 2) be nice to us poll workers. There are things we control and things we don't control, and I don't know about anyone else, but I'll be doing my damnedest about what I can control, and I'm going to assume everyone else is likely working in good faith (because, honestly, the pay's not so good that you would do this in anything other than good faith).
