Being in charge of something as important as an election. That was Cari-Ann Burgess's job in Nevada. She was the state's election boss, a crucial role that comes with a lot of responsibility. One day, her life took an unexpected turn. After a stranger yelled at her in a coffee shop, she started avoiding going out, even to buy groceries. Despite the tension, she really loved her job. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. County officials decided she couldn't handle the stress anymore and pushed her out of her position.
She insists it was because she refused to make changes they wanted. Now, the job goes to her assistant, making it the fifth person in four years to take on this role. Many election workers are stepping down due to intense pressure and threats. Cari-Ann never thought it would be this hard, but she still has a deep passion for elections and feels driven to serve.
