Can You Give A Day For Election Integrity (and Get Paid for It)?

From Vote Trust USA:

Urgent Action Alert!
The primary season that ended in Hawaii on Saturday has been plagued with ballot programming errors, machines that failed to boot up, vote totals that didn’t make sense, and frustrated voters and candidates in states across the country. But in the weeks leading up to the general election, citizens in every state are coming together to take back our democracy and ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot that counts on November 7. Now's your chance to join them by signing up to be a Pollworker for Democracy.

HAs a Pollworker, you can witness first hand and work to prevent problems like these -- which occurred in primary elections this year -- and report them when they can't be prevented.

Diebold machines, notorious for their security flaws, were routinely sent home with pollworkers for "sleepovers" days before the election. Across the country, from Kern County CA to Monroe County MD poll openings were delayed and voters turned away for hours, until missing equipment was finally delivered ... in one case by helicopter! From Coast to Coast, problems were reported with every brand of voting system, as machines froze up, lost votes and registered votes incorrectly.

VoteTrustUSA and our partner organizations have created the "Pollworkers for Democracy" project -- a nonpartisan effort to get concerned citizens directly involved in supporting our elections -- in order to support our democracy. We'll provide you with information and resources to supplement your pollworker training -- and also a system to report and track any problems on election day.

In states across the country, almost every county is still in urgent need of pollworkers for the November 7th general election. By signing up as a pollworker, you can support our democratic system ... and get paid at the same time!

The average age of pollworkers in the United States is 72. There are many long-time pollworkers in every county waiting for the opportunity to pass on their wisdom and experience to the next generation of citizen pollworkers. As our voting systems become more complicated and less transparent, it behooves us as citizens to step in and help our democracy work.

Please share this information with your friends, neighbors and relatives!! Thank you for working with VoteTrust USA to defend our democracy.
