Millions of Americans are set to head to the polls on Election Day on November third but with Covid-19 cases surging across much of the U.S. there are concerns for the safety of poll workers. The majority of these volunteers are over the age of 60 .. putting them at higher risk of suffering serious illness if they were to catch the virus. In the lead up to this election, efforts are underway to find younger people to work the polls. William Denselow reports from New York.
