‘Fully staffed’: Election offices relieved after feared poll-worker shortages don’t materialize
Election administrators across the country, including the top seven battleground states and big cities like Los Angeles and Minneapolis, are breathing a sigh of relief after the feared shortages of poll workers haven’t materialized, according to interviews with more than 25 election officials.
CNN surveyed a variety of Democratic election workers, who said they are in good shape and have filled their ranks of volunteers and paid staffers who work at polling places, process mail ballots and help run the election.
- The top election official in Raleigh, North Carolina, said they are “fully staffed” with more than 3,000 workers trained for this year, a slight increase from 2020.
- The clerk of a small Michigan town near Lansing said he has more poll workers than he needs. And officials in Atlanta said they even “had to cut off recruitment” after a surge of interest.
