Old Navy announced Tuesday it will pay its store employees to staff polling places on Election Day, Nov. 3. The retailer said in a press release that some 50,000 employees at 1,000 locations across the U.S. could potentially be involved. It will pay them for a full eight-hour day if they serve as poll workers.
Excellent idea! I hope they are trained well to guard votes & voting rights! More at link.

Wouldn't that be great if this catches on with other employers? Great publicity.
