City Elections

I had about a 23 person turnout at my precinct for the city elections earlier this week--23 out of several hundred.

Can we consolidate all these damn elections for crying out loud? Clearly no one is showing up at the city level, and it is such a waste of resources and energy.

Granted I get paid no matter how many people show, I don't know any pollworkers who do it for the money. Particularly, as an inspector, you have to pick all the shit up, may sure you have all your junk in the box, schlep it to the voting area, drop it back off at night...it is exhausting.

It is not a rewarding experience to dedicate (more than) an entire day, and process a pitiful amount of votes.
