Volunteers/Outside Venues
 

The proposed idea of using volunteers has some flaws.  The system that will be used will allow volunteers to have access to a citizens social security number, DOB information and in some cases mothers maiden name.  So for a volunteer to work they will have to go through a back ground check and have to be sworn in and trained all costly.  The amount of training an individual must go through to complete the process is something that should be left to the Registrars and their staff.

For smaller localites that have little to no extra staff having to go to locations outside their office isn't  an option.  While we close our office to go take pictures voters could be turned away who do come to the office to register, vote or even get the id.
