Reading

I'm reading through the materials for the judge. And getting nervous. Here's my notes thus far. Some are redundant, and all, I hope, will be answered after I have read through them a couple more times.

Election notes

Where do you get the text to do the swearing in
Where do you note that the swearing in was done
What does 'after the election board is organized' refer to
What are the cards of instruction
Where are the sample ballots and other materials that are to be posted
Where should the sample ballots and other materials be posted
How do you ensure that the voting machine is 'properly prepared'
What are the 'returns' that are to be posted outside of the polling place afterwards
How long must the 'returns' be posted
If one set of returns must be brought back to the county, how are the posted set generated
Do I need to arrange for the voting machine delivery people to get access to the building
Do I need to arrange for the voting machines to be put into a secured room overnight.
Who actually has to come to the building on the day before the election
When does the crew vote
What if people come in the front door right into the voting area (instead of in the back, where the line is)
Is the 'numbered list of voters' the books that the voter signs in on?
When is a provisional ballot used
Where is the 'County Poll Workers Checklist' >>>>in the judges materials
Contents of 'small manila envelope' to go with judge to country is not clear
who physically starts each of the machines?
When and how many zero tapes are printed?
Who actually cancels the vote for the runaway voter


MASKING TAPE NOT DUCT TAPE for holding up signs

how will we get into the building the day before the election, and when
how will we get into the building on election day at 6AM
how will i remember to periodically sum the total voters per machine plus runaway
individual lunch, dinner?

Basically, I'm trying to sort this mess into some kind of coherent order. And I'm glad I've got several days in which to do it.
