Every election cycle the same question gets the same answer. Jason Snead, Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project, asks a room of committed election integrity activists how many have actually served as a poll worker or a poll watcher, and there are not that many hands up. That is why the trainings exist. This year the coalition that includes Tea Party Patriots Action has run them in Texas, Ohio, Georgia and Nevada, and it arrives in Wisconsin on October 2 in Brookfield and October 3 in Green Bay, with dinner served and state legislators invited.
Snead tells Jenny Beth Martin what a poll worker's day actually looks like, why the training is built for people who have never done it, and the one thing he tells every recruit: your job is not to catch fraud. Your job is to follow the law, and simply being in the room makes it less likely anyone cuts corners. Nearly every state requires bipartisan teams to handle ballots, and in the big blue counties there are not enough conservatives to fill those seats. He calls them blueberries in the tomato soup. Jenny Beth Martin opens the show with the ten ways to help this fall at iwillsaveamerica.com.
Guest: Jason Snead, Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project.
In this episode:
• Ten ways to help this fall: poll worker, poll watcher, voter registration, postcards, calls, texts, doors, local campaigns, donations, recruiting
• Every state sets its own registration deadline; Georgia closes a month before voting begins
• The poll worker training tour: Texas, Ohio, Georgia and Nevada done, Wisconsin next
• Ask who has worked a poll before and few hands go up
• You do not need experience; you need a desire to see the law followed
• The hours: some states run shifts, others start at 5 AM and go until the job is done
• Your job is not to catch fraud; being present makes fraud less likely
• The Sally Smith example: the poll worker who knows the voter and forgets the ID
• Bipartisan teams handle ballots in nearly every state, and blue counties are short on conservatives
• Consent of the governed, and consent of the losers
• Wisconsin: October 2 in Brookfield, October 3 in Green Bay, and what the state stands to lose
