Judges are the people who work in the polling place, signing voters in and handing out ballots. If you’d like to help, you do get paid. Judges get a hundred dollars and inspectors get 120.

There are roughly 24-thousand Democrats (24,414), 23-thousand (23,248) Republicans, and 14-thousand (14,203) with no party affiliation. That’s likely because Donald Trump has virtually clinched the Republican nomination, while Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are still battling on the Democratic side.
