Quote:Former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took to social media yesterday to recruit poll workers for the 2022 U.S. midterm election.

Both Democrats shared links to Power The Polls, a poll worker training organization “launched in June 2020 by a coalition of businesses and nonprofits” which recruited “over 700,000 prospective poll workers” during the 2020 election.

Obama posted on his Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages: “This Poll Worker Recruitment Day, @AllOnTheLine and @PowerThePolls are partnering to make sure elections everywhere are safe, fair, and efficient. Signing up to be a poll worker is one of the most effective things you can do to help make sure our democracy works—and to push back against anyone who tries to spread confusion and chaos on Election Day.”

Clinton said: “Signing up as a poll worker is one of the most effective ways you can help make sure our democracy works as it should. It’s fun, nonpartisan, and you may even get paid. Sign up to #PowerThePolls today.”

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are correct — signing up as a poll worker is one of the most effective ways you can get involved in serving our nation and improving our election system.
