For those that don't know, an election officer is the person who sits in a driveway and supervises the voting crap. They just make sure the old people don't do anything wrong and they can also recount the votes and stuff like that.
I think my county or city fucked up because they sent me a letter saying "Dear Election Officer:" and asking me to participate as one for the presidential primaries elections, primary elections, and the general presidential election. I just registered to vote like 5 months ago so obviously I've never been an election officer.
I figure it's a good idea because you can put it on a college application and it looks like you care a lot about the community or whatever. Plus, you apparently get paid for it. If I do every position that is open, I can get about $370 for about 3-4 days of full time work. Plus there's 3 elections I can do it for. Sounds good to me. Also, I get a $10 finder's fee for every person I refer so come to me if you want to make $4.
