Denny reflects on days as poll worker

It was Denney’s first time serving as a poll worker, and the first time in recent history that an Idaho secretary of state spent Election Day at the polls rather than inside his office.

Denney served in the state House for nearly two decades, including three terms as speaker. Before Tuesday, he didn’t have much experience working on a large-scale ballot count. The top election chief is from Washington County, where poll workers still count paper ballots by hand.

Yet Denney jumped at the chance when Nez Perce County Clerk Patty Weeks earlier this year invited the Republican to learn firsthand how election staffers work the polls and count ballots. AP
