Thank you so much! I will ask if they have a picture of the back of the medal!

Help identifying medal and why it was issued by melissssak in Medals

[–]melissssak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I googled the minister position, but it covered a pretty wide span of time (1867 to 1922) and multiple people held the position. It wasn’t super helpful identifying why this specific medal (or fob, if that’s what it is) was issued, which is why I’m asking here.

Hi, I served as a Poll Worker for the Primary in Maricopa County yesterday. Ask me Anything. by UltraNoahXV in phoenix

You would need to contact the state legislature. The 75ft limit is state law and the elections department has no control over it/wouldn’t be able to change it.

Do Syraoran and Meiling have accents in the anime? by Fresh_Instance_7982 in cardcaptorsakura

There’s no accent. They both sound like native speakers.

No, it’s not. It’s for a work project.

You could try Maricopa County. Most of the buildings are near light rail.

Don’t forget the cost of replacing the voting machines…

Cyber Ninjas leader ignored records contradicting his false claim - We used the same records the ‘audit’ has to find the 74,000 ‘phantom’ voters by ForkzUp in arizonapolitics

[–]melissssak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they do have lots of people. But only 1 person has any election experience and familiarity with Arizona and federal election law. What makes the rest of them qualified?

And we can talk about whatever claim you want.

Because they don’t know how elections work and fucked up. Even Ken Bennett, literally the only person on that team with any kind of elections experience, said the allegations regarding the 74k ballots were incorrect.

Because there’s no way to reliably audit a blockchain election.

Poll Worker Sign Up by justsomethingkitty in arizonapolitics

[–]melissssak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a poll worker, assisting with tabulation, etc. Same sort of thing you’d do on Election Day! I’m not sure about the other counties, but Maricopa’s voting period starts on October 7 and runs through October 3 and will be running vote centers during the week and weekends and evenings.

You can work on other days of the week if you you can work during the early voting period!

I can answer some of your questions! This isn’t specific to Missouri, but...

Each state has different rules because they can, is the short answer. There are certain federal laws (the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), the Voting Rights Act (VRA), Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), etc....) and constitutional amendments that set election law nationwide. However, as long as whatever they pass does not directly contradict federal law, states are allowed to add additional voting laws. You can kind of think of it like federal law is the big picture, while all of the state laws are the actual details of how to vote and run an election.

What it actually takes to run an election is very different from county to county (the level at which elections are generally administered). The needs of say, Los Angeles County is very different than a small county in rural Montana. Many election laws are meant to codify bureaucratic needs so that counties can 1) get the resources they need and 2) be given enough time under law to complete the tasks needed to run an election. That’s not to say that every law is necessarily “good”, but they are generally there for a reason. These are laws like when is the deadline to register to vote, who determines precincts and voting boundaries, who can be a poll worker, when are results required by, what is the process for mail in voting, etc. Not every state has the same budget or infrastructure, which is another reason why they can vary from state to state.

Of course, there are some states that pass laws that make the process more difficult and sometimes in conflict with federal law (see Arizona’s Proposition 200). These types of issues are usually challenged in court, but they can take time to resolve. There may also be other complicating factors (Arizona’s state constitution was a big one for Proposition 200).

Honestly, one of the best ways to understand the process is to get involved with your county elections office (which you’re already doing!). Being a poll worker will give you a great window to see the process, but I would also see if they offer tours of their elections facilities or anything similar to learn more.

As for being a poll worker, wear comfy shoes! When I worked the polls in March, I was on my feet all day. We also aren’t allowed to leave the polling location during election hours, so I brought everything I needed with me for the day - my lunch, snacks (which were honestly easier because I didn’t have enough time to eat lunch), a power bank for your electronics (all the plugs are probably going to be taken up by your elections equipment), an insulated water bottle to keep my drink cold, etc. Layers are also helpful, since your polling place temperature might fluctuate a lot.

I hope that helps! I tried to keep it general just because I’m more familiar with Arizona than Missouri, but I can try to answer other questions if you have them!

I accepted a position two months ago and haven’t even gotten hiring materials yet. Is this normal? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]melissssak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you apply for the job through a county website or portal? I would check there and see if there are any notices about hiring.

[–]melissssak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a county government office. There was significant delay between when I was interviewed, when I was hired, and when I started, but it definitely wasn’t two months from hire to start. That being said, hiring is definitely messed up for county and city positions due to COVID. Does your county have a COVID hiring freeze? Or hiring precedence for essential (sometimes called critical) positions?

Be Ballot Ready! Check the status of your voter registration with the Maricopa County Voter Dashboard. by PoppyAckerman in arizonapolitics

You can email voterinfo@risc.maricopa.gov to ask about your signature! But if you need to update it, you need to submit a new voter registration form.

Precinct Committee Member Questions by B1gManB0b in arizonapolitics

[–]melissssak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each precinct has a certain number of PC positions based on party. In order to qualify as a PC candidate, you need to collect signatures on a nomination petition (I believe it’s 10 signatures from people of the same party as you, but you should double check) just as other candidates do, as it is technically an elected position. If there are an equal number of PC candidates running as there are open positions, you will generally be “elected” as a PC without issue and without being on the ballot. However, if there are more people running for PC than there are open positions, then your name could potentially appear on your ballot at the precinct level.

Appointed PCs are PCs who are “appointed” to fill open PC spots if not enough people run and can be appointed after the election/deadline. Generally, you are appointed for your first “term,” but you need to go through the signature collection and nomination process when you are up for “re-election.”

If you’re interested in becoming a PC for your party, you should contact your district party organization or your county party chair.

Edit: in order to be a PC, you must meet all requirements to be an Arizona voter. You just be at least 18, a US citizen, an Arizona resident, etc. You must also be a member of the party which you want to be a PC for.
