All in it Together ~ Roody ~ Cairy Cat ~ other DUers that also reported for us!

AND for your determination to make sure delegates were counted fairly.
Even Bernie noticed

Thanks everyone!!

Edited to add - this is a pic of Polk County today posted on twitter - holy crap! I never envisioned it to be this packed.
Even more respect for all of you that stuck it out today!
