One of his first posts recounts his experience today working his polling place for one of his choices for council at-large, Megan Barry:<BR/><BR/>I was there from 10:45 AM to 1:30 PM, and except for a brief appearance by a Bob Clement volunteer, the only other poll worker at my polling place was encouraging folks to vote for Saletta Holloway.<BR/><BR/>Karl Dean took St. Bernard overwhelmingly in August, with Clement finishing a distant third behind Dean and David Briley. I guess that’s why Dean’s volunteers were elsewhere. And they didn’t miss too many people - less than 300 had voted by noon in the three boxes at St. Bernard, according to election officials at the site. But visibility does matter - the fellow working for Holloway and I were both told by some who came to vote they were voting for our candidates because they saw us holding signs. In a race like this one, such small things make a difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
