Minnesota

I'm a poll worker. I have to be at "work" at the polls at 5:00 a.m. and leave at 8:30 that night. I work tirelessly all day. I'm always checking the machines. We take tallies every 2 hours. We give out and protect provisional ballots. We lock and deliver all materials to the town clerk who has police drive the "votes" (cartridges, provisional ballots, etc.) to the county seat's Board of Elections.

There are an equal number of Republicans and Democrats working the polls. We get along fine.

I can't imagine an election-denier judge arbitrarily throwing away our town's votes, esp. with no evidence.
