‘There’s a need’: Nevada recruits veterans to work as poll workers – By Jessica Hill (Las Vegas Review-Journal) / April 26, 2024
It was rainy and cold when veteran Phillip Lewis worked his first election in 2022 in North Las Vegas. He directed voters where to go in the wet tent and talked with his fellow poll workers all day.
He had a wonderful time, and he’s been working Nevada’s elections ever since.
“You meet a lot of nice people,” the 75-year-old Vietnam veteran said. “We try and all stay together and just do our job and make the election go on and keep things running.”
The North Las Vegas resident already signed up to work the next two elections. “It’s nice to do something other than sit around the house,” he said. “It’s important.”
