That's disappointing. Did you church give our the Pro-Life handouts well before?
I guess people feel intimidated going into the church.
They didn't do anything to hamper our electioneering correct?
There was no hampering of our voting, they did get pissy when we kept asking about where the provisional ballots would go and who was handling them, but thats it. The reality is, we didnt see this coming. We fliered the churches with pro-life slim jims for RP, but the pastors and ministers told the congregations to go and vote for "the official GOP ticket" which had a picture of Reagan on it, and said something about pro life.
I was shuffling all the volunteers around at the site, so I got to watch as people came in, and they didnt already have the GOP ballot, but they would be asked by other old fart church goers if they wanted the offical GOP ballot. There were only four ballots circulating: the McCain, Romney, Paul, and this pro-life bullshit.
They came in masses, and they wanted to argue with us. One guy told me to go home, and another supporter was called "Ahkmed" (spl?)
They were told what to look for at their churches, and they ate it up. It is really local politicking, and they are damn good at it. These people know how to heard sheep.
