Clayton has worked at the election headquarters for four years and makes $17.00 per hour. Patricia Clayton specialized in signature verification. Her training allows her to compare voter’s signatures on ballot envelops against their voter signature on file

Her job was basically to watch for election fraud. Clayton stated to King5.com that she was “surprised when they said she was no longer welcome”. That was it, no warning just given her walking papers.
