Most recently ,on the last election in November, I applied for the job of election judge. I served the day as a election judge. But ,when the payment came to me ,I had only received 200 dollars.I FEEL I was discriminated against and should have received more than that amount . My chores included working , setting up the equipment ,at the desk registering the voters coming in, and the closing duties of breaking down the equipment and help prepare it for the receiving poling place for tabulations and calculations. I feel I was discriminated against because someone had abused my identity either while working on that day or at the downtown office . I BELIEVE SOMETHING WAS STRANGE ABOUT THE PAYMENT AND ABOUT THE NEW APPLICATION FOR SERVING AS A JUDGE,AGAIN.
