If he is considered an employee, they can prohibit his carrying a firearm. Is a person paid for working the polls?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Funny that YOU ask, because you are the one who said it was preempted. I could have been a .... but chose not to. But, for your education, MCL 123.1103. Next time, please provide a citation, as per the rules here on OCDO.

Yes a pollworker is paid, albeit a very modest amount. Technically you are correct, you are an "at will" employee. Although there is no contract, manual or tax witholding or specific rules to adhere to other then the state and federal guidelines for running a fair election.
Neil preemption does not apply in this instance, they cannot prevent me from bringing my sidearm into the polls 123.1102. But since the "employment" is at will, they can use whatever arbitrary excuse they want to prevent me from working it. Not saying it's right, just saying that's the way it is.

You have a....SERPA!? Gasps! Aren't you a part of the anti-SERPA alliance?

They are paid. Like $100 for a normal worker, $120 for the "chairman". That's the pay for the entire 15 hour day. It sucks.

But he pictured on with a "I voted" sticker!
I trust it's an older, no longer used holster.

It has a button there, like the SERPA. Button looks like a SERPA button. If it looks like a duck and quacks....

I OC'd to vote yesterday.... In a school. No issues what so ever and I know for a fact everyone saw. The line moved in a direction to where my strong side was exposed to all of the staff at their tables. In a way it was somewhat refreshing as nothing happened, no one freaked out, etc etc. I was prepared for that outcome as well though, with educational material in my pocket and a calm, courteous attitude.
