New Hampshire poll workers worried about safety before Election Day, "they call it toxic"

DERRY, N.H. - There's just over a week until Election Day and officials in New Hampshire are not only under added pressure to ensure a fair and safe process, they're also struggling to find people willing to work as poll workers.

"We're putting the test ballots through the machine, we do have to put them through four times," said Derry Town Clerk Tina Guilford.

It's the kind of safeguards she said are built into the election process. Test ballots in eight machines are inserted several times, the numbers between the machines have to match. The machine head is then sealed until Election Day and Guilford said she's feeling more scrutiny than ever before.

"We're not here to play partisan politics, we're here to do our jobs," said Guilford.

Doing the job hasn't been easy and Guilford said it's even a struggle to get poll workers to work on election night.

That would help. It's home to plenty of frothing at the mouth magas. It's a ass backward state who'd do anything to keep the primary money and power .
