Pugh Assigns Polling Workers After Many Turned Away

RadioOnFire.com - People who disrupted the campaign headquarters of Baltimore mayoral candidate state Sen. Catherine Pugh were assigned to polling places Tuesday after initially being told there were no more jobs.

Dozens of people came out to the 1700 block of Ellamont Avenue, some as early as 5 a.m., looking for work on Election Day. Some of the denied workers told 11 News reporter Megan Pringle that they went through orientation and were promised $100 for the day.

However, when they arrived, they were told all of the job openings were filled. One person told 11 News he stood in line for hours only to be told to come back later

There have been reported acts of vandalism in response to this, including smashing windows and slashing tires of vehicles.
