Even more importantly, we need electronics geniuses that can monitor/audit the easily-hackable “voting machines”. Just ask Presidents Gore and Kerry how that works, not to mention opponents of Prop 8, supporters of the GMO Initiative, Max Cleland, and so many others…

Frankly, Pole dancers would be a better choice. They’ll at least have job and handle on economics.

I don’t believe that votes are counted, and may never have been counted.

Much rather see an election that had nobody show up, just to see how that is spun….

We don’t have “voting machines”. We have paper ballots that are read by an electronic device but there is still a paper backup as it should be.

It would be informative to almost everyone to be a poll worker at least once. It might put some reality in people’s opinions for a change.

I would love to do the job, and could certainly use the money. But the government deducts every penny from the meager dole I receive. When I did jury duty I was paid $195 for 13 days($15 per day) DEDUCTED FROM MY CHECK
Not much incentive to serve.
