How many Lemmyites will actually do this? Idk. Not holding my breath.

    I plan on it, I'm in a small town and we need volunteers. I'm a little afraid of violence but it is what it is.

    In my experience, poll working is about as dangerous as watching paint dry. Also, about as exciting.

    Even when something does pop off - the Brooks Brother's Riot because the only genuinely dramatic incident I could think of in the last 30 years - it's highly localized and ultimately uneventful (from a violence perspective).

    There was a lot that went on in 2020 as far as attempted and threatened violence against poll workers. Thousands of death threats for starters. Angry crowds outside detroit trying to bully them into stopping the vote count, and so forth. Plus their campaign against the georgia poll workers.
