WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The backbone of the American election system rides on the shoulders of an army of paid volunteers: poll workers, who take time out of their lives to spend Election Day helping others have their say at the ballot box.“Poll worker recruitment is an issue every election cycle,” said Jeanette Senecal with the League of Women Voters.It’s an issue even more so this year.In the 2016 election, there were nearly a million poll workers across the country, 917,694, working at more than 116,000 polling sites.Many of the poll workers tended to be older: 56% were over the age of 61.Now, though, concerns about COVID-19 mean many in this population, vulnerable to the virus, are choosing to sit out this time around.“Poll workers are kind of the make or break point,” Senecal said. “If they're the people who are interfacing with the voters, they're the people who are supporting those voters at the polling place on Election Day.”Officials estimate that across the U.S. about a quarter of a million poll workers may still be needed. It can take about 30 days to train them all, which means they need poll workers to sign up right now, in order to be ready by Election Day. Poll worker pay varies by county, but in some it can be as much as an hour.“This is a real opportunity for us to recruit a new generation of Americans, who can help ensure a safe and fair and as smooth as possible Election Day,” said Erika Soto Lamb, a vice-president at Comedy Central and MTV.The networks are part of a new, national non-profit coalition called Power the Polls, targeting younger people, who have never been poll workers before.“The work of Power the Polls is really in sounding the alarm bell, bringing people into the mix and then connecting them with their local boards of elections and secretaries of state, to make sure they are plugged in to work the polls in areas that need it the most,” Soto Lamb said.If there is a shortage of poll workers, experts fear some polling places may not be able to open at all and the ones that do could experience long lines.“This summer, we saw a voting rights legend pass away in Congressman John Lewis, whose life was built around voting rights and access – and this is one of those component parts,” Soto Lamb said.So far, Power the Polls has recruited 160,000 poll workers for Election Day. However, not everyone who signs up, will show up, so they are aiming to recruit as many as possible to ensure there are enough poll workers available.According to Power the Polls, the states with the most need for additional poll workers are: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.Learn more about becoming a poll worker here. 2760

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KGTV) -- In a Sunday morning tweet, President Trump demanded that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the Trump campaign was "infiltrated or surveilled."Trump said that he will officially demand that the DOJ look into the alleged program Monday. Trump said he will also ask that the department look into whether “…such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!” 448

Wauwatosa, Wisconsin is a picturesque suburb outside of Milwaukee home to 48,000 Americans.It’s normally a quiet town filled with restaurants, shops and family homes, but the last few months have been anything but quiet.“We've had over 60 nights of protests and riots,” said Dennis McBride, the mayor of Wauwatosa. “Protests mostly have been nonviolent, but mostly have not been peaceful.”There were multiple nights the city was under a curfew, the National Guard was deployed and businesses were boarded up.Families marched through the streets like never before. The demonstrations began in this community when George Floyd was killed and intensified after a Wauwatosa officer shot and killed a teenager and was not charged.“It's because of the racism we've had in our country for 400 years. We are not immune from that in a suburb,” he said.“We’ve seen that in towns, villages and communities across Wisconsin: folks really leaning into engaging and organizing to see the change they want in their own communities,” said Tomás Clasen, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union.Clasen said the rising number of protests in suburban communities gives people who normally wouldn’t participate in a front-row seat to change.“People are starting to realize that the problem is larger and impacts their communities in ways they didn’t necessarily acknowledge,” said the attorney.Restaurant owner Chris Leffler said businesses in town were right in the middle, wanting to support the message of the demonstrators but also wanting to protect their livelihoods.“We do need some police reform, but you know we have to trust our police. You know, there's a balance,” said Leffler.Even weeks after protests ended, the town is still boarded up. “Looking at what's happened around our country, unfortunately, I think that there was some anxiety and we had the same anxieties and thought, ‘Better protect ourselves,’” said Leffler.But he said the worry comes with hope. From outrage, policies and attitudes will change.“Black, white, Republican, Democrat, we're all part of this one community, and really, unity is what we're hoping for here as a community,” he said.There have been thousands of protests across the country this year for racial equality and social justice, and now more than ever, these movements are moving outside major cities into smaller communities like Wauwatosa.Experts say one reason more people are engaging in demonstrations in suburban areas: they can connect easily first on social media.“Having access to social media is really useful for building groups,” said Patti Silverman, founder of PERsist, a progressive women’s advocacy group in Washington County, a suburb outside of Milwaukee. “We started probably four months ago with three members. As of today, we have 400.”Silverman and women across her county are gathering to protest and rally for change, something many of these women have never done before.“People don't like to hear that we're here, but just by existing we have power and we have the ability to make change,” she said.These women are organizing in their suburban community, hoping for fairer government and equality for all. They’re making sure they’re speaking out peacefully but forcefully.“I think people are realizing these issues aren’t just aren’t just things that are happening in big cities, and it’s really easy to be comfortable in this county that’s so white and just think, ‘Well, this doesn’t impact me.’ But this is a time, and we’re seeing in the last four years, the consequences of not speaking out, and this is a time to not sit back and be comfortable and to really use your voice,” said Silverman.Keeping the community involved is something these women and their neighbors want to see continue not just this year but for years to come.“We can't be complacent,” said Silverman. PERsist, along with the local businesses, community leaders and neighbors believe starting on the smallest level, in the quietest communities is the best way to fight the silence stopping change. 4047

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - President Donald Trump is contradicting the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the potential availability of a coronavirus vaccine to the general public and on mask-wearing.Trump said Wednesday that a vaccine will be available as early as October and in mass distribution soon afterward — much sooner than was projected in congressional testimony earlier in the day by Dr. Robert Redfield.Trump says Redfield “made a mistake” when he told lawmakers that any vaccine available in November or December would be in “very limited supply,” and reserved for first responders and people most vulnerable to COVID-19. Redfield estimated the shot wouldn’t be broadly available until the spring or summer of 2021."I think he misunderstood," Trump said. "I don't have to go through this. I think he misunderstood the questions. But I'm telling you, here's the bottom line, distribution is going to be very rapid. He may not know that, maybe he's not aware of that. And maybe he's not dealing with the military, etc like I do. Distribution is going to be very rapid, and the vaccine is going to be very powerful. It's going to sell solve a tremendous problem."After Trump’s comments, CDC officials claimed Redfield thought he was answering a question about when the vaccination of all Americans will be completed.Trump also disagreed with Redfield about the effectiveness of protective masks, which Redfield had said could be even more helpful in combating the coronavirus than a vaccine."The mask perhaps helps," Trump said. "A lot of people didn't like the concept of masks initially, Dr. Fauci didn't like them. I'm not knocking anybody because I understand both sides of the argument. But when I called up Dr. Redfield today, I said what's with the mask? He said I think I answered that question incorrectly. Maybe he misunderstood, maybe he under this understood both of them. The answer to the one, it's going to be a much faster distribution that he said. Maybe he is not aware of the distribution process, it's not really his thing as let's say it is my thing. The distribution is going to be much faster. I hope that the vaccine will be a lot more beneficial than the masks because people have used the masks."Trump also added that masks are not more affected than a vaccine.A vaccine is much more effective than a mask if we get the vaccine, but know the mask is not as important as the vaccine," Trump said. 2465

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KGTV) -- Starting January 1, a new federal rule requires hospitals to post a list of prices online, detailing the services they provide, according to KRON. The new law forces hospitals to post prices for every item and service they provide. According to KRON, hospitals have hidden that information from the public in the past, claiming it’s proprietary information or would confuse people. Few hospitals around the country post a small list of prices while others require patients to contact their healthcare provider or speak with someone in billing. Hospitals warn that the prices listed will likely vary from the actual prices charged to customers due to rates negotiated with insurance companies. 729
