One positive from this result -- I don't have to worry about repercussions of being an election official in a state that he didn't win in an election he didn't win. (I heard from various sources that there was concern about civil unrest should he lose. He did lose in both the jurisdiction I work in and the one I live in.) (We had people decline to work the election because they didn't want to deal with potential fall-out. Our non-Trump Republican workers are all seriously thinking about retiring from working elections, because they don't feel comfortable with the R label anymore.)
We processed nearly 1100 absent voter ballots over the course of two days. It was a long two days. Tomorrow, we go in and deal with the things that didn't get dealt with on Tuesday -- clearing leftovers (baked goods and other treats - the meat/dairy was dealt with Tuesday) out of the lunchroom, cleaning and putting away the extra tables we put in the lunchroom, sorting secrecy sleeves, pulling papers out of binders and into file cabinets, moving old election records into long-term storage, etc. DC will be retiring at the end of the month, *and* the township will soon be beginning a remodeling project for the hall that will (ideally) give the Clerk's office more space, so it's gonna be "fun" for a while. Next week I need to remember to bring in the one-quarter graph paper so we can work on room layout. [Office musical chairs -- we're moving to a larger space that's being combined from an extant office (A) and a storage space; office A now will be sharing with C for a few weeks, but as zie is only in one day a week and this is the slow time for both A and C, it shouldn't be too onerous; then we move, and B moves into our old space and A moves into B's old space. B wants the windows. :)]
I skipped all rehearsals this week. It will be weird going back next week!
