Christopher Goss says part of his role as a Cobb County poll worker isn’t just to help voters with technical questions, it’s making sure they actually enjoy the process

“I’m not one who’s low key about it,” said Goss. “So, everybody that comes, I welcome them with happiness and joy and so they feel comfortable.”

Goss has worked the polls since 2016. But he was one of nearly forty people who came to a large conference room in Marietta Wednesday to get hands-on training on the state’s new voting equipment.
