Working as an election judge has been our privilege for many years since we retired to Vernon County. I have met many dedicated and efficient workers during this time. The first time I helped out was when our neighbor, Dorothy Tyer, was the County Clerk. Sometimes the facilities were not that great. But I believe that at least an outhouse was required. Air conditioning was usually not an option. In the winter the heating was not always at a comfortable level. But election after election citizens would answer the request to serve as judges. In the earlier days, the pay for the day was very small. Today, that has been remedied. In fact the judges are even paid to attend the training.
