As Dover resident Wayne Charrette tuned into the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, Sep. 29 in Cleveland, he decided to take action after President Trump urged his supporters to “go into the polls and watch very carefully.”
So, citing President Trump’s remarks and considering the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on older, higher-risk individuals, Charrette, who did not give his exact age, but said he is in his 30s, decided to sign up to be a poll worker. Thousands of other Americans have made the same decision ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 3 general election.
