Yeah, I can imagine how much mail you had if no one was picking it up for you.

It would have been best to have it mailed out by yesterday since there's a chance the mail picked up today doesn't get post marked until tomorrow and in turn wouldn't count.

Good luck with the move!

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
