Really? Wow! We have paid, trained election staff with an election commissioner of each party that must show up when called at any election. Yes, NY spends a lot, but in voting, as bad as it’s gotten, I think it’s worth it.
Our problem is as a state we’ve gone off the rails blue. Mostly all legal, but NYC votes Dem. Local elections are much more red.
Oh they are trained and we have election commissioners and they are all paid by the Democrat controlled government.
