First, poll workers who can not read will not be able to “read & follow” procedures. Second, or democracy depends on capable poll workers and all those others who work it. Not forgetting boxes of ballots in trunks of cars, or closets… Sticking to procedures for recounts. Most jobs require a minimum literacy. Why not poll workers? Even unpaid interns must have the reading skills.

The SEIU guard crack was just a dig at an incident from last time. One the justice department feared to enforce.

So are there a lot of illiterate poll workers out there? The polls I go to are staffed mostly by little old ladies with blue hair. They need quadrifocals to read the forms, but they’re very literate.
