In Florida, the Supervisors of Elections hire the poll *workers,* but the political parties and candidates train and designate the volunteer poll *watchers.* Here, the local Republicans have no say over who is hired as a poll *worker.*

Wow, that's interesting.

Our GOP is recruiting for working the polls. The actual hiring and training is done, at least in my county, by the election board. Which is 2/3 Dem.

We encourage people to apply, but that’s all we do. I think our SOE tries to have workers be 50-50 R-D. Our Canvassing Board is 100% Republican, as are all but maybe two elected officials county-wide.
