Average Age of Poll Workers is 70 (Score 2, Insightful)

I just heard on the news that the average age of poll workers is 70! I've seen many older people, even younger than 70, try to use a computer--and figure out what it's doing, and it's painfully difficult to watch. It's just a technology that they haven't grown up with, and have a hard time grasping. I'm not knocking the abilities of old dogs to learn new tricks, but it seems to me that the younger generation (including myself), need to step up to the plate here and start to help out in polling places.

I mean I'm not trying to sound cynical or mean, but alot of the poll workers I've encountered have a difficult enough time trying to find my name on their roll sheets. How are they supposed to be the safe-guards against people tampering with these machines?
