My neighbor, Nancy Schaeffer, has been working the polls in my ward for over 30 years. She is a constant, at both the primaries and general elections, staffing her table with other devoted poll workers, ensuring that those of us in Springfield Township, Montgomery County, can vote.

In this episode of CK Unmuted, Nancy talks about why she works the polls, the failsafes that ensure the integrity of the vote, and her concerns about the increasing shortage of poll workers.

Women like Terri and Claire inspire me to hit the sidewalk with signs…something I never did as a young woman. It wasn’t ladylike to raise your voice, shake your fist or voice an opposing opinion.

We got big issues in Pennsylvania, particularly regarding women’s reproductive rights. There’s a primary this year on May 16th and an election on November 7th. I hope women like Terri and Claire motivate you to study the candidates for the one vacancy on the PA Supreme Court. Educate yourself and your family and friends. Vote in both the primary and the general election! Thanks!
