A shortage of poll workers due to public health concerns has prompted college students around the country to step up and volunteer for the November 3rd election, especially in Michigan, where an effort to recruit 30,000 workers resulted in an overwhelming response from students at the University of Michigan and other colleges around the state.

由於公共衛生問題導致的投票工作人員短缺，促使全國各地的大學生紛紛站出來，為11月3日的選舉提供志願服務，尤其是在密歇根州，招募3萬名工作人員的努力，得到了密歇根大學和該州其他高校學生的熱烈響應。
