#election2024 #electionday #electionofficer
Continuing my #electionday #electionofficer live mega thread. Scroll up to see more, mute the thread to see less, without blocking me entirely.
One fun thing we do in my precinct that I enjoy is yelling “first time VOTERRR!” And cheering a little when people are voting for the first time. We don’t know it from their records. But if they say something we cheer.
I’m sure I have also processed a few fiftieth-time (or more!) #voters and I wish we could celebrate them also.
I’m reading about long lines on #electionday in other parts of the country. I love early #voting. We had maybe 10 voters waiting at 6:00am who we quickly processed. Since then, it’s been slow and steady.
In 7 hours we’ve done maybe 300 #voters, so a little less than 1 a minute. But that doesn’t mean nobody is voting. They probably voted early or absentee.
I’m a big fan of early voting. It just makes #elections easier. #election2024 #electionday #uspol
I’m in the #CovidIsNotOver crowd and still wearing my N95, especially if I’m going to deal with 1000 total strangers. Rough average in the US is 1 in 60 have an active infection. So if I do see 1000 people today, probably something like 16 will have an active infection. Virginia’s rates currently are pretty moderate. Maybe it’ll be less than 16. But there’s no reason to think there will be zero people with #covid #voting.
Of the 15 officers in my #poll precinct, 2 of us are wearing masks. Few #voters are masking, maybe 5 out of 200. Airflow is good in the room.
We offer free #masks to those who want them. But it’s a bit pointless. Nobody who wants a mask shows up without one.

"Black #voters are under attack in #Georgia by foreign adversaries making false bomb threats. Get out there and vote Georgia ASAP-- and if you're in line, stay in line."
“But when asked what most influenced their vote, about half of #voters identified the future of #democracy as the single most important factor. That was higher than the share who answered the same way about inflation, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, abortion policy or free speech.” #APVoteCast
