arrowTeen poll worker has lots of time for text-messaging

Diana Marcum reports:

Bronson Buskett, a 16-year-old Clovis poll worker, plans to use his $150 from the day's efforts to buy guitar stuff.

Bronson said he spent about four-fifths of his poll-worker time text-messaging friends with his cel phone. He said that was because four-fifths of the registered voters didn't show up.

There was only one moment of excitement, he said: "This old guy threw a doughnut ... well, a piece of a doughnut ... when his name was on the rolls. He had to use a provisional ballot."
