This has been my first ever political experience, and I cannot be more satisfied with the candidate I ran under or the group of delegates I ran with. While I am disappointed with the results, I am surprised with the amount of support myself and the other delegates throughout the state got. I...
Many in our state do, indeed, hate president Obama. Many democrats are registered that way (at least in my area) and vote straight ticket on everything except the Presidential election.
We are only seeing very few counties reporting results yet. Many of the top delegates only have regional support. For example, here is the current results for my county:

Araskaz and I are from the Clarksburg area. I'm unsure of what I can do to be most effective on election day, especially at the distance we are required to stand away from the polls. The only thing I can think of is to do many different sign waves and voter transportation programs.
Hah, and here I sit reading this 10 minutes away from CJIS. Having a facility so close to home has made me rather unsettled, but until now I had never known of any projects they did aside from fingerprinting databases.
