Thank you so much for working the polls, and for sharing your experience! We chatted about this already via Instagram, but I agree with the level of disorganization. I know part of it is because Boards of Elections tend to be understaffed and that the pandemic made things extra difficult this year, but it still felt like there were a lot of things (at least here in NC, where I worked) that could have been done differently. I'm also jealous of your breaks - we were allowed to take them, but we couldn't leave our polling place. Despite all that, I really loved being a poll worker and plan to do it for as many future elections as I can. I have grand plans to be a Chief Judge one day, and hopefully help improve the process for my community. <3

Thank you for sharing yours, it's so interesting how it varies state by state. That's so tough that you couldn't leave the poll site, I would just go home and lie down on the couch. I also think it would have been easier without Covid because then you could just go eat and drink in a separate room. And yes to improving the process, You'd be a great Chief Judge and would make voting easier for everyone!
