What a Wyoming Election Judge Saw on Election Day
For years, I’ve enjoyed volunteering as an election judge in Laramie County, Wyoming (population 104,189). Almost two-thirds of us live in Cheyenne, the county seat and state capital. On Election Day, nearly 3,000 voted at Storey Gym, one of seven polling places scattered across Laramie County’s 2,688 square miles. I choose not to be paid, but the county offers election workers $16.00 an hour. Most of us work election days from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. All of us do it to support our system of democracy.
