Our election correspondent, Katie [Bowman] Grisbacher, spent her day talking to voters in the 37th legislative district, where Elizabeth Township residents overwhelmingly supported Mindy Fee. But this coverage is more about neighbors than politics:
Judge of elections, majority inspector, minority inspector, clerks, committeepersons. Polling places spring to life twice a year thanks to poll workers called to a civic duty alongside voters.
At most polls, voters are greeted by grassroots political party representatives stationed outside (at least 10 feet away from the polling place). Democrat, Republican, and other parties send representatives to share information, make a presence, and sway undecided voters. These are people on the front lines of campaigns.
“The voters are our friends and our neighbors,” said Margaret High, Republican committeewoman for East Cocalico Township, Smokestown District. “We’re here to welcome the voters, thank them for coming out, and listen to comments, what they want to share with us.”
