EAC Chairman Donald Palmer echoed the call to service, emphasizing the shared mission between poll workers and U.S. veterans to protect our electoral process at the local level.
Lorén Westerfield of Vet the Vote celebrated the collaboration with local election officials and the EAC, noting that veterans and military families bring mission-driven focus, leadership, and exceptional skills to ensure efficient and accurate elections.
