Because we’re all too busy working and paying bills instead of sucking government tit.
Pretty much it. Except we can’t even get the retired people to do it.
The poll workers are uniformly about 75 years old, a quite possibly more in some cases. Real people with real jobs keeping their families going, and paying taxes for those who chose not to do the same, just don't have much time for this.
I own a small business. Taking the day off to work the election cost me $500. Hillary will cost ALL OF US a lot more! Just think of the taxes, regulations, exective orders, etc! BTW, most of the Democrat voluteers took a day of vacation from their jobs in order to contribute to their cause.
