For Veterans Day, NPR veterans correspondent Quil Lawrence looked at veterans heading to the new Congress in the Up First newsletter, and highlighted another way veterans and military families keep serving: as poll workers. The piece notes that Vet the Vote counted more than 175,000 volunteers from all 50 states for this midterm, up from a goal of 150,000 during the 2024 cycle, helping support understaffed election offices with volunteers in 4 out of 5 zip codes nationwide.
