Just have to correct that the actual poll workers are not volunteers they are paid. Not a lot, which is why I don't do it any more since it's such a long day, wish they let people do shifts. Any volunteers at polling places usually are there for individual campaigns and are not poll workers, they are there for get out the vote push, they check off who votes, that's why the poll workers call out your name and address, so they can see who they have to call or go door to door to get them to vote before the end of the day.
