    Poll watcher is typically a volunteer thing (unless I’ve been doing it wrong lol)

      Oh haha, thanks. I’d no idea. Wow That’s nice of you to do such a high stress job for free.

        Eh, it’s not actually that hard lol. It’s mainly chatting with voters (before they vote, since you can’t talk politics inside, that’s electioneering) and then the candidates or a party rep comes by and asks how many people voted so far, so I run in and ask the poll workers for “the numbers.” Then at the end of the day, you can stand around and watch them count. But the party cares less about that part now that we have a voting system with a paper trail. The folks inside, who do get paid, have the hard job.
