West Virginia, Indiana(open), and North Carolina vote Tuesday May 8th

[MozoVote]

When can we expect first results?

In NC. The early voting totals will be published around 7:30. It's usually a pretty good representative sample of what will happen the rest of the night on statewide races. Local races for legislative primaries and county commissions will take more time to sort out.

RonPaulers are going to dominate WV, Indiana, and NC. Make it happen!

We can't hand anything out at the polls...there's a 300ft limit, which here can put you "down the holler and around the bend".

Does the restriction on handing out flyers apply to holding large signs with desired delegate names?

That should be legal, but all of our delegates are grouped together and have "(Paul)" by there name.

Go to my site (http://www.wv4ronpaul.com) to see a sample ballot (there's a link to one on the 'Delegates' page)

Hey Bill, how do you think we'll do?

Hey Bill, how do you think we'll do?

I just don't know...I'm getting all tingly being on the ballot and all, but I just don't know. That's why we gotta hit it hard again tomorrow. My feeling is that the only folks that know how the delegate system works is the establishment GOP and us Paulers. I've seen good Paul support, but I have no idea how it's going to go in tomorrow's contest.

Honestly, I could see it going either way. I can't wait...I know I'm going to have a hard time getting to sleep tonight. Win-or-lose, we've done some good work in WV and it will pay off in the future if nothing else.

So keep getting that word out ALL DAY LONG about voting for 22 delegates: 19 At-Large (like me!) and 3 Congressional District delegates!

What is meant by "(Semi)Closed"?

The vast majority of votes that Ron receives tomorrow in West Virginia, Indiana, and North Carolina will be are directly attributable to Ron Paul Grassroots.

The Official Campaign is virtually nonexistent in these three States. Ron Paul has made zero visits in the last month.

Any State that goes North of 20% should be very proud, above 30% of the vote absolutely screaming with joy Tuesday night.

Good Luck West Virginia, Indiana, and West Virginia.... Make us Proud!!!

What will the ballot look like and how do i know who the RP delegates are? Indiana Voter here

 

[ShaneEnochs]

So I'm from West Virginia, but I'm registered as an Indy. Am I allowed to vote for Ron? I never got a clear answer as to what a "semi-closed" primary was.

So you wait until the night, the day before the election to ask and not go find out for yourself. Geez, that's pathetic.

I second this request.

 

[opinionatedfool]

I sure hope all the Romney bot supporters think he's already taken the nomination and don't bother showing up.

 

[coffeewithchess]

NC will probably have the biggest turn out of any state in the South so far, because of one big, HUGE issue up for vote.
A "Marriage Amendment". This means the "conservative Christians" will be turning out in mass force tomorrow, to vote for the amendment as the churches around the state have been very involved and vocal on the issue.

North Carolina could have used one ad from RP's campaign, at least letting them know that he is still in the race...

west Virginia absentee breakdown. I think it was a closed primary last year? not sure, but it's semi-closed now and quite a few independents voted absentee.

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. —
More than 4,100 ballots for Tuesday’s primary election have already been cast by early voters in the Eastern Panhandle, according to Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant’s office.

In Morgan County, 295 Republicans, 145 Democrat and 73 with no party affiliation cast ballots.

The figures released Monday also include absentee ballots that have been returned by voters, according to Tennant’s office.

another article. if independents could not vote on the gop presidential ticket last year and they can now, there will be many for RP this time around. assuming they actually vote.

Look for Ron Paul delegates here:
http://www.indianaforpaul.org/

Pick your district from the home page ^^ and then scroll down to see your counties RP supporters for delegates, ONLY vote for them, you can vote for less but not more than what they say on the ballot (Like in my county we can pick 12, but there are only 4 RP Delegates so I will only pick them).
