As county election commissions prepared for an unusual election day this summer, many veteran poll workers, who are older and more at risk for complications from the coronavirus, decided not to return in 2020.

The Purple Project is a non-partisan coalition, campaign and movement, spanning the breadth of American society "to rediscover and recommit to our democratic values and institutions."
