The long serving, and well intending workers face the physical
challenge of getting up at 4AM, and not returning home until 8:30 PM
with only an hour long break. They have to deal with new machines
which really aren't that complicated, but challenging to them, none-the-
less.
I've worked a few elections myself, a floater going where I'm needed.
I'm 53. The day is hard on me. At one polling place, one of the
workers was in his 90's.
My 21 year old daughter has worked several local elections and feels
alienated by the 'mature' workers who, after spending 17 hours on their
feet, aren't particularly sure-footed or clear headed... and aren't
that receptive to the ideas of some young kid (who happened to graduate
college early and will attend lawschool in the fall) which is why
avoidable mistakes are commonplace.
