Election Workers Are Already Burned Out—and on High Alert
Election workers across the country are feeling the strain as they work tirelessly to ensure a smooth and fair election process. With long hours, tight deadlines, and the added pressure of a highly contentious election cycle, many election workers are already feeling burned out.
On top of the usual challenges of managing polling places and processing ballots, election workers are also dealing with a slew of new challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. From implementing social distancing measures to ensuring the safety of voters and staff, election workers have had to adapt quickly to a rapidly changing landscape.
Despite the exhaustion and stress, election workers remain committed to upholding the integrity of the democratic process. They are on high alert for any signs of interference, misinformation, or other threats to the election, and are working tirelessly to address any issues that may arise.
As we approach Election Day, it’s important to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of election workers across the country. They are the unsung heroes of our democracy, and their efforts are crucial to ensuring a free and fair election for all.
