Overworked & Underpaid - Randall Wertz
- The Life of an Election Official
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of an election and who is responsible for overseeing how they are conducted? Most people have not because they show up to their polling place, stand in line for a few minutes, sign in at the registration desk, go to the next station to get their ballot, walk to the next station to mark their ballot, and finally take their ballot and insert it in the voting machine—don’t forget your “I VOTED” sticker!

Then they are vilified by voters, candidates, and political parties. This book will enlighten you to this profession and these outstanding patriots. Welcome to the world of elections!
