Summary
A presenter said more than 770,000 poll workers were used in the 2024 election, that over 98% of jurisdictions used paper ballots or had a paper audit trail, and that 40% of jurisdictions reported using e-poll books — an all-time high, according to a slide shown during the presentation.
A presenter summarized several key administration metrics from the 2024 election, saying "Over 770,000 poll workers were" used and that the figure would be examined further. The presenter attributed other headline figures to a slide shown to the audience.
The presenter said that "over 98% of jurisdictions use equipment that used a paper ballot or had some type of paper auditing trail," describing that majority as an important measure of election security. The presenter also highlighted that "40% of jurisdictions that reported using e-poll books during this election" — a share they described as an all-time high when compared across years.
The remarks in the transcript came without an explicit organizational affiliation or a cited external report; the presenter referred to a slide for these numbers and said the poll worker total would be examined in more detail. The transcript does not specify the survey method, the definition of "jurisdictions," or which organization compiled the figures. Those details were not specified in the presentation.
No formal motion, vote, or legal action was recorded in the transcript. The presenter indicated the intention to "look into some more" regarding the poll worker figure; no timeline or next steps were provided in the recorded remarks.
