Why would a voting precinct need Starlink?
It offers cell phone service.
As a NC poll worker here I can't begin to tell you how many times we have to call into our County Election Board to assist with issues that come up during Election Day either to have them search out a voter whom we can't locate in their data base or to assist with other equipment issues. I can't imagine all the problems Western NC will have just to run their precincts in that situation. Much less find poll workers to run it!
In my county we have only 5 Election Board members, an Election Board Director and an Assistant Board Director. They have a few IT peeps who help fix equipment problems and and a few runners who bring last minute info on Election Day.
My county consists of 19 precincts and over 800 square miles. It takes a lot of effort for our County Board of Elections to be able to address each precinct on election night in a county of this size.
Multiply this info by what they have to do in Western NC where many towns or precincts are inaccessible to their own County Election Boards. It just boggles my mind.
