Just got a call from the folks who train and use poll workers in my very blue location, NYC. But specifically Queens which has a couple of conservatives, I guess. I used to be registered as Democrat so I could vote in their primaries (for the worst possible candidate), but recently switched to Republican because now I want to be counted!

So this call was because I took the training over a year ago to be a poll worker but never did it because-- so many reasons-- but now they really want me and they will be more accommodating in terms of location, the guy said, because they need Republicans at the polls!

I don't know about other places, but here the law is that a Demonrat and a Republican must work together on any issues that arise and tasks that need to be taken care of. I know it's not precinct committeeman but I'm excited to get involved in this way. Maybe next election I'll be the one pulling suitcases full of ballots out from under a table and scanning them multiple times-- but for a Republican candidate!

Kidding of course! Like I would ever do that!

Cool! But I'm not going to hear from them again until July when new training begins. Here's a website:

Should have everything you need there.
