I'm thrilled. Lots--I mean LOTS--more African American voters at my early voting place

[Lex]

than I have ever seen before. This is in central NC. I'm not saying I know how every African American voter is voting because I do not, but let me say this--I almost always vote early and there were LOTS more African American voters voting at that early voting place than I've EVER seen. (This is at the main early voting site in my county, the Board of Elections, so ANYone in any precinct can vote there early. There are 8 other early voting places in my county.)

It was awesome!

Also I scored 4 Obama yard signs from a lady who had ordered a whole bunch from the campaign and she was selling them for what she paid for them, which was $5 per sign.

:woohoo: Let's go blue NC! Here's my shirt right now:

5. Suggestion:

Go to Kinko's and get your "I voted early" sticker lamenated and then go to the craft store and buy a pin backing for it and wear it everyday. I think it will send a wonderful message out to people to get out there and vote as early as possible. As much as we like to think that people know what is available to them, many don't, and if you don that every morning I'm sure you'll get asked how they can do it, too!

Congrats on the vote....it must have felt wonderful to finally be able to express yourself!
And thanks for the post....I love hearing the on the ground, anecdotal yet real facts on the ground!

Peace out!
