THE SCENES, THE VERY FIRST THING
THAT WE SAY IS, IF YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW AN ELECTION
IS RUN, SIGN UP TO BE AN
ELECTION WORKER, SEE THE
TRAINING THAT GOES INTO IT AND
ALL OF THE CHECKS AND BALANCES
THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE, AND
SOMETIMES THAT’S ENOUGH TO KIND
OF MAKE PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR MIND

THE BEST ELECTION WORKERS. AND

ABSENTEE BALLOT MAILED IS JULY
29TH. AFTER THAT, YOU’LL HAVE TO
COME IN PERSON HERE TO THE
