A tale from my first experience as a poll worker last
Tuesday:
On Election Day the sash cord broke on one of the voting
machines in the precinct where I was working as a poll
worker. The curtain couldn't be closed to permit a secret
ballot. The Judge of Elections took the machine out of
service and sent for a techinician who arrived an hour later
and spent about 10 minutes working on the machine. As he
came out of the polling station another poll worker asked:
"Well, is the machine fixed?"
The technician replied as he hurried on to his next
assignment: "Now, now, we don't like to use the 'F-word' on
Election Day. The word is 'repaired'."
