The election army

Millions upon millions of dollars poured into political campaigns. Candidate appearances and yard signs and the blitzkrieg of political ads. None of these would mean a thing if it weren’t for the actual casting of votes, and the systems in place to make this happen.

In Wisconsin, this crucial part of the process is overseen by the state Government Accountability Board. There are also thousands of local elections officials and what Barry Burden, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has called “an army of temporary poll workers.”
