In Congressional District #18, I worked a polling station for 12 hours. It was a very long day and at the end of the day I was tired and sore. My hard work was not rewarded when I got home to see the end results of the delegate counts from the rest of the state to see we did not fare well.

Though the state results were not good, my efforts were. I am here now posting the results of MY EFFORTS and YES, I am going to blow my own horn. For CD-18, we had three delegates on the ballot to be elected. I will post the delegate with the % of total votes at my polling station. There were a total of 194 polling stations in CD-18.

Steve Morreale - 16.29% (Highest % in CD-18):D
Brian Dougherty - 21.14% (2nd Highest % in CD-18 - 22.22% highest):)
James (Scott) Garsteck- 23.34% (Highest % in CD-18):D

Brian Dougherty elected as Delegate for CD-18

You did great. We took the whole town and did well at all the polls we worked. I'm putting a list together and will email soon.

I'm confused. Why was there such a total vote disparity between Dougherty and Garsteck?

Is Dougherty locally recognizable?
Did he have better ballot positioning?
Did he campaign more or fundamentally different from the others?

In terms of literature, you guys were on the same slate cards and both endorsed by the LIFEpac flyers.
 
There is a lot more we can do in the future, especially if we play dirty. E.g. printing slate cards for each presidential candidate with the same slates and asking voters which candidate they support.

If you call this being deceptive you wouldn't be wrong, but we are at least not being deceptive for nefarious gains. If people vote like sheep, treat them like sheep. At least it's in their interest.

Here are the results where we stationed workers. We only had 30-40 sign up.

Note: it is very important to note not all workers worked the whole day. Indeed, some only worked an hour or two.

RP guys are in bold. Note that Roddey has huge name recognition here.

In terms of literature, you guys were on the same slate cards and both endorsed by the LIFEpac flyers.
There were a total of 13 delegates listed on the ballot. Steve Morreale was position #2, Brian Dougherty #8 and James(Scott in PA) Garsteck #9. Garsteck lives in the town where I was working a polling station. Some of the names on the ballot are somewhat well known people in certain areas throughout the district which would explain higher vote totals. Bottom line is most voters I encountered had no clue what delegates do or who they are and appreciated the delegate cards. These people wanted "to be told who to vote for". Had we manned every polling station in PA, there is no doubt in my mind, we would have swept a large % of the delegates in PA. Where polling stations were manned, we did fairly well.
 
Yes, it just seems strange to me that there was such a variance between two candidates when they were both on the same slate cards, especially if both had relatively the same name recognition (not a whole lot, may I presume?) throughout the Congressional district as well as ballot position.

Code:
MORREALE	 5.7%
DOUGHERTY	11.9%
GARSTECK	 6.4%

Just wondering what caused the discrepancy. Do we really think it was simply because "voters simply liked one name more?" Statistically that is a big difference why so many flocked to one name versus another for no other reason.

It must be the case. He did excellent in all county precincts, in all 4 counties.
