I spent election day working the polls at a precinct in Anoka County, Minnesota. My job, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., was helping people feed their ballots into the ballot counting machine. There were elderly white couples, nurses in their scrubs, Muslim women in hijabs, one mystifyingly angry blonde lady, a friendly guy in camo, a few folks with American flag masks, people with walkers, people with babies, a handful of Black high school seniors, elderly folks in passenger seats filling out ballots in their adult children’s cars.
