#14- Amy Hillman: Behind the Scenes of Elections

If People Only Knew how elections really work behind the scenes. 

You know you have to register to vote and then you vote in an election - but what happens behind the scenes?

I sat down with Amy Hillman who is an election worker to find out how poll workers are hired, the checks in place to register someone to vote, when they start counting ballots, and what oversight there is to ensure an accurate vote count. 

She even tells us where corruption could be hiding if there is any.
