Poll Worker or Election Judge for a Day

http://avi-rubin.blogspot.com/2008/01/2008-election-judge-training.html

So, I was reading Avi Rubin’s blog… first about a lunar eclipse (very cool, but the pictures don’t really seem real)… and then on to his day of training for being an election judge. This entry combined with our day at the polls got me wondering about whether we are all complaining about incompetence and ineptitude among poll workers, but yet we never put our money where our mouths are and volunteer ourselves. I’m not saying that I’m running out right now to sign up, but it would do us all good to think about it as one small way of improving the system.
