"Two days to go before the election," Shawn Eckles said, "and I'm confident I'm getting votes all over the county."
During the last 48 hours I have continued to be on site every minute the Iredell early voting polls have been open. Friday I went by all four early vote locations, Statesville, Troutman and the two in Mooresville. Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of voters who were standing outside in the good weather at 1:00 when the polls were to close. Since the rules allow all to finish who are in line at that time, there were so many that I talked to voters another hour until they had all gone in the booth.
Saturday night, I produced and directed the Iredell County Talent Show. The winner is Ms. Kierra Brown of Statesville, who sang a capella. Second place, voted by audience approval, went to a 12-year-old girl who played keyboard all by herself and sang. Third was awarded to a rock and roll band named Chosen Rejects, a group of three high school students.
Some of you will remember, my campaign sponsored a first Iredell County Talent Show in May at West Iredell High school; the winner in May was a pair of brothers calling themselves DyNasty.
At last night's event in the auditorium at Mooresville Senior High School, we all had a good time, and I was able to talk with more voters.
Monday I will be contacting friends and campaign supporters so that we can have our presence at the polls on Election Day 2012. My next update here in this space will be Wednesday, hopefully all about my victory to become and Iredell Supervisor of the Soil and Water District.
