I was a poll worker in NC. Hey not all of us are criminals! I didn't see anything untoward the entire time I worked either in Early voting or Election Day... any problems seen were mistakes by some of the new poll workers (for which we had a lot of them). Training is long and it is easy to forget some things or get distracted when checking in people. Like forgetting to look at a photo ID. Or telling people to go to the wrong precinct as there were so many of them that didn't know where it was on election day. MISTAKES happen.

FWIW it is not an easy job when there are long lines out the door and people go to the wrong precinct! Or they want to register on election day to vote. Anyone that did that got a provisional ballot. In our rural county we had 31 provisionals just at my precinct (the largest in the county).

We do get paid but it is not a lot and election day is very long. Had to be at the precinct at 5:30 am and couldn't leave with no supper (lines were too. long) I ate lunch at my desk and only took a 10 min break. I didn't get home until 9 pm but when I worked in a different precinct as a judge I didn't get home until after I dropped off all the equipment from the precinct at the BOE 20 mins away. Sometimes not home until 10 or 11pm. those times .
