Young people are trying to save the US election amid dire poll worker shortages
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/01/poll-worker-election-help-young-people-try-to-save-us-vote > In Hamilton county, Ohio, young people play a specific role in facilitating elections where older people may not feel as confident: technology use. Sherry Poland, the director of elections at the Hamilton county board of elections, runs the Youth at the Booth program, which recruits 17- and 18-year-old high school seniors to work the polls. Poland said that the younger poll workers have a symbiotic relationship with the older generation of poll workers.
