Every Election Day, Karen Long wakes up at 5:30 a.m., heads to the kitchen and fills her red-and-white cooler with snacks. Long, 76 and based in Lewiston, Idaho, has been working the polls for 20 years and knows a hefty stack of cookies is key to getting through her day. 

Long’s typical shift at the polls on Election Day lasts 13-plus hours, but she looks forward to it, even describing the work as “exhilarating.” Across two decades, Long’s missed only one Lewiston election.
