ATTN: Virginia - Turn out is ridiculously low! Do whatever it takes to get Paul votes.

[PauliticsPolitics]

All reports from Virginia say that turn out is super low, something like 1% (that is ridiculously low for a primary!). It seems like most people are staying home because of the limited ballot.
We have to make sure that ALL Paul supporters go to the polls today.
This may be a scenario where 100 votes means A LOT. If you live in or near Virginia, do whatever it takes to get people to cast their vote for Paul.
Buy your friends some lunch and drive them to the polls. Walk around and convince people on the street. Do whatever it takes.
The last poll only had Paul at 26% - but if we turn out everyone plus some, we can likely pull a surprise here because no one else is showing up.
Do it!

I did not know that there were some Gingrich supporters telling fellow Gingrich people to vote Paul, but this is great news!!!

Yes, this is all good news. There are a lot of threads floating around here dealing with the VA turnout. I felt we needed a strong call to action thread since we cannot let the Ron Paul voters stay home even though the rest of Virginia seems to be blowing off this primary.

Absolutely, I agree! I hope that some people who had lost hope in VA see this and get out to the polls!

They must really hate Romney down there in VA if 1% of the total pop is voting. If that is the case, then this is Ron's best chance to catch a break and get a densely populated state.

I am in the Danville area and the enthusiasm here is pathetic.

 

[RabbitMan]

Won't people be voting after work? This seems like a nonissue.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

Is there any way to tell Gingrich or Santorum grassroots (if they have any) to go obtain support to vote for ROn Paul to prevent Romney from winning?

 

[D.A.S.]

I sent an email out to our Virginia members on RonPaulCountry.com to make sure they know about the low turnout today and how much it matters that they come out to vote and bring as many friends/family with them as they can.

I've got 3 voters for RP today ...My dad a Romney supporter didn't even go vote and he ALWAYS votes. I guess they all just figure that RP won't win.

 

[RonRules]

I called the only guy I know in Virginia and asked him to go vote for Ron Paul. Back in 2008 he was doing video for the Romney campaign and he told me how much of a fake Romney was. He would be quite different ON/OFF camera.

I think I convinced him to vote for Ron. Please call all the people you know in Virginia! With 1% turnout, we could win this!

I've seen two bloggers from Virginia say they voted for Paul specifically to cast a "not Romney" vote.

I'm certainly not in the thick of it, but I have some family in Virginia who were pretty upset about having to sign a pledge to support whatever candidate gets elected. Several of them are diehard Republicans and all vowed not to vote this time around. I don't know if that's a big factor or not in the turnout, but it could be.

1% turnout is a sad state of affairs for the GOP, no matter how you cut it...

 

[amonasro]

Scott Rassmussen is on my local radio calling VA for Romney. Hope he's wrong.

 

[blazeKing]

I didn't have to sign a pledge today...maybe that's only in some areas I don't know.

Most of the news articles I read today have indicated a similar strategy by the Gingrich/Santorum supporters in VA. Fingers crossed!

It's almost as if they know who's going to win before any votes are counted. Hmm....
