No excuses, Buster, we’ve got an election to run

Lynn Ledford is looking for a few good men and women to work the precincts for the 2008 elections. Perhaps “few” is the wrong word.

“We’re probably 500 in the hole right now,” said Ledford, Gwinnett’s election supervisor.

The hours are pretty good. You only work a few days, and the job pays anywhere from $110 to $250 a day.

“I think there are a lot of people out there who would enjoy this,” Ledford said.

This year, the election supervisor is trying to expand her pool of potential employees beyond retirees. That’s because she needs good strong backs to haul the newer electronic voting machines.

“The equipment is heavy,” Ledford said. “It’s really hard for the little ladies to pick it up.”

Anyone interested in the job, Ledford said, can contact Peter Combs, the poll official coordinator for Gwinnett County. Combs can be reached at peter.combs@gwinnettcounty.com.
