A wide
net was cast for poll workers this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a
theater worker from Orange decided to answer the call.
Connor
Deane, the founder of the Broadway Method Academy, will be playing the role of
ballot clerk on Election Day.
He
told News 12 that he always wanted to be involved in politics and he was
trained on how to keep the process smooth on Nov. 3.
“Americans
have a really important choice to make…and I don't want anything getting in the
way of that,” he says. “I'm a proud American and I want to make sure democracy
plays out.”
Though
masks are required at polling sites, Connor says those without masks will be
able to vote curbside.
