Poll workers get paid but yeah, they're always the most vulnerable. - Krusty without grass Jun 23, 05:10 6

  - 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
