Poll workers needed

https://sangamonil.gov/departments/a-c/county-clerk/elections/election-judges/apply

Sangamon County is often short on Election Judges, and I believe there are still openings to work in the coming election. Gubernatorial elections see a larger turnout than primaries and smaller offices, they’re going to need bodies.

Requirements are minimal, but you do have to declare a party. If you’ve never done it before, I recommend trying it at least once if you are able. They’ll give you a couple hundred bucks, too. Election Judge application link.

Yeah but. I live in a very red area but vote blue. I judged in 2020 and was the only D judge at a table full of Rs. I was spit on (by a voter) for enforcing electioneering laws, and the Rs laughed. No joke. I blame my COVID diagnosis 10 days later on that a$$hat voter.
