Yesterday, I served as a Chief Election Inspector at my local polling place. Election Inspector is a fancy title for a poll worker. I feel our political system requires service to work well. We need service minded people to run for office. I have no interest on working on a campaign, nor do I have a near term interest in running for elected office. We also need people to help run the elections. I have the privilege of serving in this way 2 - 4 times a year (6 times this year because of recall elections). If you have a schedule that allows for it, I'd encourage you to serve in this way, also.
Yesterday's election also means I won't be receiving robo-calls from campaigns and issue groups for a while.
