People by the hundreds are already voting for me since early voting started last Thursday at the Iredell County Board of Elections in Statesville. Some of them tell me they gave me their votes before they vote, and some of them when they come from voting, because, Iredell residents, I have been there from open to close all four days of Iredell voting so far.
I must report to you only great news about my success with the early voters and will share a few of their comments. "I like your energy." "I like the fact that you are young and in politics." "You are the guy in the fracking protest video." "You gave me your flyer at a gas station." "If I had not met you, I probably would not have voted for you."
Republican and Democrate poll workers have taken a shine to me, and really helped me get votes from both of their parties. In person politics really works, and I don't mind putting in the hours. I attended the Democrats' "debate party" last night. And I marched Sunday with a voter registration drive. Remember: I am still a candidate registered as "unaffiliated." I believe in "tripartisanship."
However, starting tomorrow I can't be in person everywhere Iredell is voting, so I will try to have some of my friends and colleagues speaking with folks at the multiple locations of early voting (Mooresville, Statesville, Troutman).
The previous weekend I spent three days helping my uncle put a new roof on his house.
Before voting began last week, I spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday campaigning in Mooresville and Statesville. I walked through several apartment complexes, I met people outside Walmart and a few gas stations and a bar.
And, since I last spoke to you, I have done more work on that historical documentary film I am making for the people in Wilkesboro who want to maintain and make public their historic old Lincoln Heights School.
