Kilted while working the polls.

Green Dragon,
How long have you been working at the polls? I have not missed an election since my release from active service in the Air Force. I was twenty-seven at that time (1978). I am a Warden (supervisor of the poll) here in Boston. It is very rewarding work in a diverse city. I like helping new citizens with their first election. Here we have many naturalized citizens from Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Russia. I have developed some multi lingual skills to be able to assist them. i have been kilted for years. All of the regular poll workers at the polling station have known me being kilted. It is rare that the kilt brings on any comment other than by the media when they visit. because polling occurs on a Tuesday, I have always had that as my day off from work. Tuesdays are always kilted all day.
Thank you for your time and effort in the election process, it is well appreciated.

Good for you, both for sporting the kilt, and also for working the polls.

Indeed

Unfortunately we do not have polls here anymore. A couple years ago the powers-that-be made an executive decision to do away with polls & go strictly to mail-in ballots (without consulting the people that I'm aware of).
I hate it!!
I felt more like I was taking part in the process by walking to my polling place, standing in line, & punching out my ballot.

Okay, I'll step off my before I get really carried away!!

For a second( by the title) I thought we had a stripper on the forum!

Same here, or I thought he was working on telephone polls...

POLLS not Poles. Trust me, NOBODY wants to see me work a stripper pole.

this is my fourth year.

Well, if I recall, you are pretty young (comparatively speaking), and I'd like to applaud you for your stewardship of our democratic process so long before you retire. Doing it in a kilt is just icing on the cake.

Kudos to you for putting in time making the wheels of our Republic work. You get points for working at the polls!
