Responses:

I’m really close to my poling place but my dad (who worked early voting) warned me there was nothing to vote for. - Tim Jun 23, 06:01 3
- I had so much to vote for that I spent days researching the people and ended up not getting as much info as I wanted. - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 06:20 2
  - This is why I was so happy to do mail-in voting. I sat down at my computer and researched each vote before making a decision -- nm - decline Jun 23, 06:22 1
    - This year it worked out great as normally I just show up and vote after reading what's on the ballot. But even those articles left out the smaller - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 06:31
Didn't want to vote absentee? -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 04:50 10
- We got in just last Tuesday and had so so so much mail from three months gone by the time I sorted through all of it and figured out if I had received - JackDawson Jun 23, 04:54 9
  - Nice, glad you felt comfortable voting in person and that it went smoothly. - Krusty Jun 23, 04:58 8
    - Yeah I felt really bad for the volunteer workers — all elderly, Most of color— all the vulnerable populations - JackDawson Jun 23, 05:05 7
      - Poll workers get paid but yeah, they're always the most vulnerable. - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 05:10 6
        
        But not the monitors? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 23, 06:12 1
        
        I can only speak about the poll workers. I don't know anything about the monitors who I think are hired by the parties and not the state. -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 06:15
        
        do they get paid everywhere? -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 06:05 3
        
        $400-$1,000 for election day in Australia, depending on position. -- nm - mafic Jun 23, 06:31
        
        My understanding is that they're all paid, in every state. -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 06:11 1
        
        But the pay varies from state to state. In NYC a poll worker is paid $15 an hour. They raised it recently as they're having a hard time - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 06:13
