Morgantown Needs Election Poll Workers

Make up to $200. Morgantown needs alternate poll workers for the upcoming April 27 city election. Apply online or call 304-284-7434.

As reported by WBOY-TV, the City of Morgantown needs poll workers for the April 27 Municipal Election. Christine Wade, Morgantown City Clerk, said the city has 36 workers for nine precincts, but that more alternate poll workers are needed.

According to the City Clerk, no state code relates to Morgantown’s efforts to have an adequate supply of poll workers.

All polls must have representation from more than one political party, and the City Clerk states her goal is to find a good mixture of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, no parties within each precinct.

Poll workers are paid for their efforts. Volunteers make $50 for attending a two-hour training. And poll workers make $150 for Election Day, when polls are open from 6:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m., though with an earlier start and later finish for poll workers.

Given COVID-19 issues, Morgantown will use an online training platform to make the process easier. Also, the City Clerk states the type of training has increased, with the inclusion of diversity training and more unspecified topics.

Anyone interested who meets the requirements—18 and older, a registered voter, and willing to work Election Day—can apply online to work as a poll worker.

Voters can find more information Morgantown’s election online.

Malfeasance

Malfeasance in office is the doing of an act for which there is no authority or warrant of law.

Misfeasance

Misfeasance is the wrongful and injurious exercise of lawful authority — that is, the doing of an act which might lawfully be done, but is done in an improper manner.

Nonfeasance

Nonfeasance is a term used in tort law to describe inaction that allows or results in harm to a person or to property. An act of nonfeasance can result in liability if (1) the actor owed a duty of care toward the injured person, (2) the actor failed to act on that duty, and (3) the failure to act resulted in injury.

While it’s tabled now, City Council may take up its MUB takeover later.

Three City Councilors: Bill Kawecki, Jenny Selin, and Dave Harshbarger were adamant about moving forward to restructure MUB. Shame on them! Ironically, these councilors have two more full years left in their term, which increases the importance of the recall effort to remove them now.

For now, the other four Councilmembers have tabled the issue, but pressure is inevitably being placed on the holdouts, and some, like Deputy Mayor Danielle Trumble, have expressed a desire to move forward.

No MUB customer is safe.

Whether you’re a MUB customer in Morgantown’s city limits or across the Mason-Dixon in Pennsylvania, know this is an attempt by Morgantown City Council to further enact its will upon your property and your life.

Don’t be lulled into complacency thinking the issue will go away. If past history tells us anything, City Council may still try to implement its misguided agenda fueled by obstience.
