I do happen to know one Ohio poll watcher, who was appointed before all the fooferaw went septic. She's extremely apprehensive--here's this honest, scrupulously careful, quiet, stay-at-home mom thinking to volunteer her time to do her bit, and suddenly the world's eye is trained sternly on her state, particularly on those who volunteered to do what she will be doing.

Bless her--I'd be very nervous. I am going to volunteer to bring people to the polls, I think--we'll see where I'm needed.
