Navigating Election Day: Poll Watchers and Poll Workers

Season 2024 Episode 1 | 3m 10s

What is the difference between a poll watcher and a poll worker? Two high-ranking officials in Middlevania’s elections help describe the difference. Middlevania and poll watcher Uncle Bill may be hypothetical, but the issues surrounding it are not. ‘DEADLOCK: an election story’ encourages civil dialogue and critical thinking in an era dominated by polarizing debates.

Location furnished by The New York Historical. Funding for BREAKING the DEADLOCK was made possible in part by PBS viewers.
