FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO):  Allen County Party Chairs say more people interested in working at polls.  Poll workers are on the front lines of democracy in many ways, and are some of the most important positions to hold each and every election. It’s a volunteer job, and it’s often thankless. But hundreds of people are ready to get to work on election day. In Indiana, they go through their political parties to get the job. Both Republican Party Chairman, Steve Shine and Chairman of the Allen County Democratic Party, Derek Camp told our partners in news at 21Alive that there is extra interest this year in those wishing to volunteer for those positions ahead of next week’s Midterms.

Both chairmen say interest levels are rising for poll workers, but the motivation behind that interest slightly differs in their eyes. But, even with the vast interest in the election process, the chairmen say it’s still difficult recruiting young people to work on election day.

Blue cities in control November 3, 2022 at 6:18 am

“It’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes”….we need to overhaul how votes are counted and totaled. All these Blue cities in Red States where votes are tallied could easily be set up for fraud (see election audit reports for geogia, arizona, Penn and Wisconsin for 2020)….there’s a reason why they all changed their election laws, but I’m not sure if they changed enough since the election headquarters where votes are counted and audited are still controlled in blue cities…and yes, they cheat (see suitcase video from 2020, and the fact that all states Trump needed stopped counting for hours for Biden’s votes to majically appear in eevery case)…but yet, they dont want you to beleive your lying eyes….

Perhaps each county needs to count the votes, hold the records and submit the count to headquarters….the audit would occur at the county…it would be way harder to cheat…just a thought..
