Franklin County needs more GOP poll workers for Issue 1 vote

State of play: As of last week, the county was still 1,077 Republicans short of its target.

• Counties have a quick turnaround for paid training opportunities, then pay $134 for working the full day of Aug. 8.

What they're saying: GOP recruitment remains a priority for the Franklin County Board of Elections, spokesperson Aaron Sellers tells us.

• "This is not uncommon in large counties," he says, noting rural counties have "the same issue needing more Democrats."
• "We will get there by election day."
