Cheers to all for fighting the good fight. I look forward to next year's ELA class being involved in the 2012 elections. It feels good to be a union activist......Below are some stats we just from one of the NEA Directors. Below that is an excerpt of one of my most memorable door knocks this past weekend.
Ohio Stats:
One more thing . . . .analysis out of We are Ohio below (so far):
61.3% final vote. Won 82 of 88 counties with 100% of precincts reporting.
Total turnout is 3,497,408. Odd-year record is about 2,000 votes more and that will certainly come when late VBM ballots and provisional ballots get added. Highest turnout in decades for off year!
2,145,042 No votes. More than the 1,889,180 won by Kasich in 2010 election for Governor.
Athens at 80.4% was the best county. 68.9% in Cuyahoga, 63.9% in Franklin, 58.2% in Hamilton.
More on demographics later when the ISSI data comes back but WOW!
Phadra's journal entry:
GOTV in East Cleveland....encouraging voters to vote "no" on Issue 2. So many stories that make your heart swell. One young man about 9 came to the door yesterday evening. His mom wasn't home so I gave him the brochure and told him to be sure to tell her to vote "NO" on Tuesday. He replied "vote no for Barack Obama". He looked devastated. I said no young man, not Barack Obama...I went on to explain to him what a union was and why it was so important for his mom to vote no on this issue. He smiled and told me he would be sure to explain it to his mom....You have to love union work! East Cleveland rocks
One of many stories while canvassing in East Cleveland.....
