[Lekooks] Fwd: Action Alert: Poll Workers, Observers Needed

[Kerry Duma]

If you know of anyone who lives in Milwaukee County who would be interested
in helping with the election on April 5, the city of Milwaukee is looking
for more poll workers.  There is also an opportunity to be an election
observer through the League of Women Voters. Please share the info below.

Early voting began today.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is very
important and will be decided on April 5.   Got to myvote.wi.gov to see a
sample ballot for your jurisdiction.

April 5 Spring Primary

  *E-LERT *
*March 21, 2016*
____________________________________________________________________________

Dear Friend,

          I’m urging you to vote in the April 5 elections. There is a very
important state supreme court race -- go to our Campaign Profiles 2016
<http://wisdc.clearsender.com/tracker.php?link=-996772479::6798::2448928>
to view candidates' campaign finance summaries -- along with the
presidential primaries. So please go to the polls on April 5 or skip the
lines and vote this week. Early voting is available at your city clerk’s
office all this week and next. Remember: Bring your photo ID along.

          And here are two other ways you can help make democracy work
during this election.

*                   First, * Because of higher turnout than expected, the
City of Milwaukee issued a *call for more poll workers.*

         Qualifications include:

   - Must be qualified to vote
   - Reside in Milwaukee County (not limited to the City of Milwaukee)
   - Proficient reading and writing skills and the ability to quickly
   process instructions
   - The ability to work well with the public

         Election workers receive $130 in compensation for working a full
day or $65 for working half day (AM or PM shift), plus $15 for attending
training.

         If you’re interested, complete an online application at
www.milwaukee.gov/election
<http://wisdc.clearsender.com/tracker.php?link=246406442::6801::2448928>.

         And *second*, the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is looking
for *election observers* to be their eyes and ears at the polls in cities,
villages and towns across the state. They will be monitoring whether new
election laws are being uniformly applied statewide. In particular, they
will be watching for signs of voters being disenfranchised by election laws
or election administration procedures. The League will provide online
training and a packet of materials to support your work. Use this link to
sign up if you can help the League out with the April 5 primary.

Best,

Matt Rothschild
Executive Director
