You might ask if they still provide election workers with a video. I found The "video" is also shown on a few cable stations, and all elected polling
officials are notified of this.
There are two problems, though.
1) The city only communicates with "elected polling officials." They
have no way of knowing who the people "found" by the ward leaders are. And
relatively few districts have elected officials. Nobody runs -- in part because
it's not "promoted" so nobody knows about it. There's something "we" can do
about this -- thinking globally and acting locally. We can run. There are two
elected positions -- Judge of Elections and Inspector of Elections.
2) Most elected polling officials don't choose their own "workers," but let
the ward leaders do it for them. One result is that, when the notices of
training sessions, cable showings of the videos, etc, come in the mail, the
elected officials who get them have nobody to pass the word to.
The Republican ward leader in this general area is Matt Wolfe, who's on
this list. His Democratic counterpart is Kevin Fassett, who I don't think is on
the list; Sylvia Hammerman-Brown works with him, and isn't this list but is
better known than Kevin to most of us. I'm an elected 'Judge of Elections,'
having run as a Libertarian. When the time rolls around, maybe I can work with
Matt (stranger things have happened but don't ask me to name them), and we can
invite the Dems, too, to do a multi-partisan workshop on running for one of the
two elected polling official positions. Matt?
By the way, it's grueling work. As Bill or Stephen pointed out, the city
pays $100. But if you don't think of it as a public service, you're missing the
whole idea.
Always at
your service and ready for a dialog,
