Overseeing a statewide election in a pandemic gives Damon Circosta plenty of things to fret about. But when the chair of the North Carolina Board of Elections lies awake at night, his biggest worry is the poll workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state needs to accommodate over 7 million registered voters so they can cast their ballots for president, U.S. Congress, governor, and other statewide offices on Nov. 3. That takes about 25,000 workers. But finding them may be difficult this year, since <\/span>poll workers are typically senior citizens<\/span><\/a> who now face the risk of severe illness from COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state needs more poll workers than usual, too. In addition to their normal tasks of greeting voters and handing out ballots, they will be expected to enforce social distancing, wipe down ballot stands, and distribute masks and hand sanitizer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Damon Circosta | State Board of Elections<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Circosta, who was appointed to the board a year ago, describes himself as a \u201ctrue zealot\u201d of accessible elections. Ensuring that counties can staff their polls in November has become his top priority \u2014 and his greatest concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRecruiting those people has always been a challenge,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a lot of work to do now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, state elections officials \u201cdidn\u2019t put all our eggs in one basket,\u201d he said. Voters can choose to vote absentee by mail, head to the polls for early voting from Oct. 15-31, or cast their ballot on Election Day at one of 2,700 precincts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The state board of elections has helped recruit workers for all three methods of voting with its \u201cDemocracy Heroes\u201d campaign \u2014 they\u2019ve collected about 17,000 interest forms that way, said Circosta. But most of the burden of recruiting poll workers lies with the counties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Durham is on track for a smooth election, said Director of Elections Derek Bowen. The county has already secured about 600 of the 800 volunteers it needs by Election Day, with over 100 applications pending. Plus, Durham has a program that will send government workers to staff the polls if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Circosta is optimistic that the rest of North Carolina will round up enough poll workers, too \u2014 \u201cbut we cannot let off the gas,\u201d he said. He recommends that businesses let employees take a day off and college students be released from classes to work at the polls.<\/span><\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t concerned about health risks for workers. \u201cGoing to your polling place will be safer than going to your local Walgreens,\u201d he said. But he knows some residents might be scared to vote in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m worried that talking about the challenges COVID-19 creates will inadvertently tell people that (voting in person) isn\u2019t what they should be doing,\u201d he said. \u201cAbsolutely, we can make it safe. I just want people to show up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Others predict a high turnout despite the pandemic. Page Gardner, founder of the Voter Participation Center, said the advocacy group has seen \u201can enormous response\u201d from voters, especially to its vote-by-mail application.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a hunger to participate,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople want to help, and they want to vote.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

President Trump has stirred up questions about the election with false allegations about the prevalence of <\/span>voter fraud<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> most recently targeting the validity of<\/span> mail-in voting<\/span><\/a>. Gardner said the president is \u201cdoing everything he can to keep people from voting.\u201d He has even claimed there are plans to send law enforcement to monitor the polls, which critics say could be a form of voter intimidation.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Circosta said state and federal law prohibit the mobilization of law enforcement for poll monitoring. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to happen,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet the suggestion may put voters on edge. Durham routinely sends unarmed security officials to monitor polling sites to \u201chelp diffuse any situations that may arise,\u201d said Bowen. The protocol was created to protect voters, but he recognizes that the presence of uniformed guards could make some voters feel threatened.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to have any form of voter intimidation,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that\u2019s a hard balance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chatham County had an incident of voter intimidation in <\/span>February<\/span><\/a>, when pro-Confederate demonstrators reportedly hurled slurs and flew Trump and Confederate flags in front of an early voting site. Gardner said it\u2019s up to election officials to prevent similar incidents this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people trying to confuse, intimidate, and make the voting process seem chaotic,\u201d she said. Election officials \u201cneed to guarantee that this will not be allowed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Circosta said he has \u201cno tolerance\u201d for citizens who harass fellow voters, but he anticipates counties will need additional guidance in responding to voter intimidation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf people do wish to engage in that behavior, I expect the full weight of the law will be used to thwart it,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Circosta\u2019s job comes with plenty of anxiety. But he said being the face of the North Carolina election feels \u201cabsolutely wonderful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t know when or how the election will end, but he urges voters to be patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy every account, this is going to be a close election,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we\u2019ll get it right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
