Also, younger Pedes, please volunteer to help at the polls.
Texas is like most places in that many poll workers are elderly people who are retired. This year, they aren't working because they are the group most at risk for COVID mortality and hundreds of people will be getting close to them. Being quarantined has actually made elders more likely to catch COVID.
If you have vacation time or are working from home, please volunteer to help. Texas is likely to close some polling places due to lack of staffing, and we can't be the only state with this problem.
