Poll workers step up amid Election Day machine outages and long shifts
Sending loud appreciative applause to poll workers. They deserve it.
sigma73Every time I vote early the poll workers are so excited and helpful and they're just a real joy to be around. I have to endorse early voting for that alone. Today's going to stress them out so much.
x - Bonanza Cat1Amen to that. My mom worked the polls for years for my home town. It's a long day and night for those folks.
I want to thank all of the poll workers especially now more than ever. A thankless job of immense importance. We appreciate you
WUT9In my neighborhood it’s overwhelming older Black women doing the work. I take note of that every damn time
Caren Gullick5Thank you to all the poll workers. What you are doing matters so much. Helping voters matters. Standing strong for all of our rights matters. Be safe and thank you for what you do.
Otis Redfoot2Thank them again after this over because we know how this might play out after the election. Remember how badly Trump treated them in GA in 16 and this time he'll have the DOJ behind him all the way.
🍂 🎃 SF Native 🎃 🍂2The poll workers were younger and more cognizant today than the ones working the primary in June. This was comforting. 😊
WS2Handed out flyers at my local polling place in DC on the early shift. Ran out of flyers in an hour & the poll workers asked people who didn't need/want their flyers to let me reuse them. I was the only volunteer for any candidate so it wasn't showing favorites (& good for the environment).
MEH. We have an army of trained poll watchers and poll workers and there are 175,000+ precincts in 3200+ counties nationwide.
lindainpa.bsky.social4Like you have said - it’s a big nothing burger. My little precinct in South central PA has been steady all morning. Quietly optimistic over here. 💙
Katy3Hilarious to send them to Bernalillo, NM. The polls there handle a tiny portion of the County sites. I look forward to a vid or photo of whomever is standing there bored. Because the majority of our population already voted.
Robb2He never tells the truth. It's probably a dozen people just on their own.
1/2 🌅🗳️ Early start this morning in Malden as I begin my sixth time serving as a poll worker. 🇺🇸 I'm proud to stand alongside dedicated public servants, law enforcement officers, and volunteers from all walks of life in our community, helping to ensure a safe, accessible, and welcoming voting
Ilana 🐸1Thank you for your service! This is what a patriot looks like.
nigelfoot.bsky.social1All power to you guys Good luck have a good day (I know it will be a long one) This is why democracy is so important 💪👍
Coach Julio12/2 experience for everyone. 🗳️ The polls are open. Your voice, your vote! #ElectionDay2026 #MaldenMA #PollWorker #CivicDuty #Democracy #volunteer #Vote #America #community
These are not election monitors. They're partisan thugs meant to at the very least intimidate poll workers & voters. Lookbwhere they're being sent. Look for Your state & ask which demographics live there. If you get threats or other issues at the polls, call/text Election Protection at 866-687-8683
Dr. Damien P. Williams, dread portent down from a mountain cave28Again, if you experience an accessibility problem, threats, or another issue blocking you from voting, call or text 866-687-8683 for help from Election Protection.

Roderick Snotglove2Sending poll watchers to WA - we're vote by mail, this is utterly pointless. I do note that he's sending goons to Yakima, a county that's 50% Latino.
