The Vs. At

This was what the Secretary of State in my State posted on Twitter today: "We need more young people to work the polls."

It sounds like he is saying there is a shortage of strippers and pole dancers in the State. What he meant was that the vast majority of Volunteers who work at the polling stations across the State are elderly and are not able to work this Election because of Covid-19 and the State wants younger people to work at the polling stations for them.

He should have posted: "We need more young people to work at the polls." There's a big difference between working the polls and working at the polls.
