but non-stop observer to make sure everyone has a chance to vote and their ballot doesn't accidentally slip behind the desk because they are the wrong party.

...Tomorrow...Bright and early...watching the first batch of absentee ballot envelopes be opened and scanned.

I'm sure glad I volunteered for a job that was described as 3 hours + training between 10/2 and 11/5, and all day on 11/6.

37 hours so far, and 42 more (that I know of, assuming we have an outcome on 11/6...)

My daughter's access to health care depends on it. She has a chronic progressive illness that costs in the range of $40,000/year to treat (when nothing goes wrong). Without the Affordable Care Act, her ability to live anything close to a full life will vanish.

But you're welcome.
