How do elections actually run in Lucas County? Don Miller, a member of the Lucas County Board of Elections, sat down with the VoteR podcast to walk through it: the bipartisan 2-2 board structure, why ballots are never handled by one party alone, the four-week audit behind every certified result, and why Ohio's process is called the gold standard. He also makes a direct ask — the county needs more poll workers. He explains exactly what the commitment involves, how to get started, and even how to pull a petition if you're thinking about running for local office yourself.
