No matter which candidates you supported in yesterday’s elections, I think you’ll agree that the Wake County Board of Elections did an outstanding job managing the election. Early voting was super-easy and wildly successful, voting machines worked well, ballots were easy to understand and counted fairly, and poll workers knew their jobs and performed those jobs efficiently. Rarely did I see anyone waiting more than 5 to 10 minutes at the polling places I visited. Even the Board of Election’s post-election results webpages, farmed out to SOE Software, easily handled the load.
Managing a presidential election is a mammoth project but from what I can see Wake County pulled it off flawlessly. Kudos to all the poll workers who put in long hours to make voting so effortless!

You’re welcome. 🙂 (Well, for Durham County, anyway…)
And, thank you for engaging in the process yourself…
Yes, Tanner. Thanks for your service to the people of Durham County. I admire it!
You, yourself, could always volunteer too, you know. 🙂 Well, it’s not actually volunteering since poll workers do get paid (albeit not much). Good poll workers are always needed.
The Wake County web page to become a precinct official is here: http://www.wakegov.com/elections/precinct_officials.htm
Heh. You’re too late. A precinct worker talked me and my Obama poll greeter friend into signing up for more information.
If I’m not working a campaign myself I think I’d like to work as a precinct worker.
You should try working as a precinct worker sometime. I think you’d be good at it!
