Letter to the Editor: We face a poll worker shortage
In order to uphold a fair, efficient and reliable presidential election, this nation is greatly in need of an invaluable resource: election poll workers. On an average election year, 56 percent of election officials are over the age of 60. However, as you already know, this demographic is significantly impacted by the pandemic. Understandably, many of those who would have typically presided over the polls are not doing so this year, in fear of jeopardizing their lives. As a result, our nation, as well as the state of Wisconsin, is collectively facing a poll worker shortage.
