Already voted last week, but will check my local poll
Will stop over at lunch time ish John Rees
Kings Mill precinct
Today was my son's first chance to vote. Margaret, Carl and I voted at around 7 AM. Stephens was campaigning and Democratic Party had an info table. We were voters 22,23 and 24.
Sewell
#27 at 8 am at Sewell. Curious sight: last Sunday I saw a young man with a handful of Chilton campaign signs walking along Estes. When I returned a few hours later, pratically all Chilton signs were missing. Other canidate's signs remained.
We were moving them to the polling location
If you had looked on Culbreth road yesterday, you'd have seen me pulling Chilton signs so I could place them around the Scroggs school for today.John Rees
Good to know
that someone was likely redistributing them to other strategic locations.
My wife was #298 at Kings Mill at 4pm
Loren makes me get excited about running for re-election in 2017, when my son will be able to vote for the 1st time with me on the ballot!
Kings Mill precinct
Yep get the next generation voting. I helped at the Democratic Party table from 5 to 7. Blackwood was campaigning for himself and Brown was campaigning for Bonnie Hauser. Only one voter refused info by saying she was a conservative. By 7PM 400 people had voted. (More than last fall, about the same in 2010.)
2010 #s
You sure we're comparing apples to apples? 2010 #s reported today should include all early voting, while the # on the machine today is just for primary election day. So we'll have 600 when 2014 primary is done
