A Thank You to Election Poll Workers

 

 

“Let this be a thank you to hundreds of thousands of dedicated, honest, hard-working poll workers on this 2022 election day.”

We voted a few days ago here in Nevada. Once again, the process was smooth, relatively quick, and a pleasant experience.

I think it’s way past time many of these poll workers, most of whom volunteer and others who are paid a small pittance for their time given the immense responsibility of their duties, are given our thanks and appreciation.

Sadly, however, a scourge has infected the country. Poll workers are threatened and intimidated. Millions of election deniers and conspiracy crackpots have made wild accusations about good people and continue to malign our fellow citizens who work at polling places.

The poll workers who staffed the 2020 election deserve our universal support and respect. I would call their efforts near heroic. They pulled off a miracle in the depths of a global pandemic and worked through lots of confusing state laws, under intense pressure. But instead of being praised as they should have been, many poll workers and volunteers were accused of being dishonest. Dark money political groups even funded fake documentaries, and outright fabrications, and slung a barrage of false accusations to try and malign these workers. Even today, these election-denying shitbags continue to disrespect lots of good people who do some really tough work, with no thanks from anyone.

These citizens deserve respect, not threats and intimidation.

So, let this be a THANK YOU from those of us who want to protect and preserve democracy and counterbalance the madness from a dark and ugly corner of America. YOU are the light.  Most of us appreciate your service and dedication.
