for all you people advocating getting a lawyer: WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF THAT?

Seriously, what is the benefit? As I explained in my earlier post, she has not suffered any sort of financial hardship because of this. She's pissed off. As she should be. As much as I would love to say lawyers can solve everyone's problems (man, that would create a much better job market for me when I graduate in a few months), THEY CAN'T

This wasn't a "real" job. It was temporary. And i'm guessing that it was at-will, meaning they could say buh bye to you at any time for any reason. I don't know who is responsible for paying the poll workers, I don't know how the voting is set up in the state.

If you sue, you're going to look like a fool in the public eye. Yes, it sucks, yes, you have a right to complain, but to make a huge issue to it you're just going to embarass yourself in the end. By suing you'll look bitter and money hungry, and the lawyer is going to cost you way more than you'll ever get out of this.
