        I’ve volunteered for election work before. It’s actually quite easy in terms of labor required (triggered my social anxiety something fierce, but so does any ‘front desk’ work), and it’s nice to know you’re doing your civic duty. In my area, they’re always in need of more volunteers. We also got paid.

        My wife is a Precinct Committee Person and one of the things we do is monitor ballot drop boxes to make sure nobody is engaging in intimidation. I say “we” because there’s no way I’m letting her go out there on her own…

      Hmm, but the Social Democratic Party of Germany lost to the Nazis in 1932… 🤔
