So this totally explains it!  The "Leader" who didn't do shit was a county worker that was essentially coerced to do it because she was bilingual.  Nothing prepared, and closing was a bear, because she didn't know what to do because she hadn't pre-read her damned duties.  Do I sound effing pissed?  I am.  This is an exhausting day, and if people are this laxed in a national effort, wth are they doing on a daily basis? If this is a microcosm of the govt.  This explains A LOT.  (More reason to love POTUS as a businessman who can GET STUFF DONE!)  I just cringe at inefficiency and ineptitude, and people who just sit and let other people do their work for them. The two teams can't really help each other because you have to sign log books every so often and the teams have to match and coordinate signatures on rosters and tallies.  Overall we had good teams THAT SHOWED UP.  I think they ought to make it a competition - like win prizes for accuracy and timing.  Let Leaders pick teams and have them vetted as eligible.  Divide up the day - 2 shifts.  We were brain dead by the end.  As far as the questions below about "volunteers."  County employees are "encouraged" to work.  "Volunteers" can be Clerks or "Inspectors" -the leaders of the team.  Inspectors usually need to have done it before, but they seem to be pretty desperate.  You can volunteer through your county registrar - please Anons... let's not lose steam before 2020.  Let's get US in there to keep an eye on things, and do things right.  It's time for a well oiled machine.
