A friend in Ohio politics writes in:
Ohio for Change has recruited 450 "line managers" to give sample ballots, water, food, comfort and encouragement to people waiting in lineI think it's sort of telling that we've let voting become such an onerous, unpleasant process that we actually need "line managers" to hand out water and food and encouragement.Update: A friend who's been doing work in Virginia says they're running much the same play:
On my Virginia volunteer list, they're calling them "comfort people", which sounds a bit like "comfort women", which makes me wonder how they're really getting out the vote.So there that is.
