Travis County, Texas officials for the first time have shelled out cash to train election workers in de-escalation techniques.
tells Axios. "I wanted our workers to be vigilant about what's happening and to understand the types of situations that could occur and how to handle them."When it comes to people who might be disruptive at the polls, Guerrero says she learned during training, "Have a conversation with those individuals, allow them to speak — and then reiterate what they're saying to show we're understanding what they're saying to us.
"We're very fortunate we have not had an issue with recruiting poll workers," Guerrero tells Axios. "We're 100% staffed for early voting and Election Day. People are not scared off because of what they're hearing in the news."In Travis County, officials increased pay for poll workers to $20 per hour, Guerrero said.
