I worked a poll in my small hometown once time for $75 for the day. It wasn't bad considering I was the youngest person working there by at least 30 years. I took some advice from my grandmother who had done it and took a book (it was for the primaries) and just chilled most of the time. Every once in a while a person would walk in. We didn't have fancy voting booths, the ballot was a piece of paper and you went into a seperate room to fill it out with a No. 2 pencil. My job was taking the ballot from them in a special plastic thing and putting it in the box.

It wasn't bad work and I kind of enjoyed it.
