Sorry I haven’t been here in a couple days.
Watched Pennsyl tally up 700 votes in an hour and a half one night. Yesterday, he added 266 new votes for a daily total of 1683 votes. Even with heavy campaigning, our best daily vote add was 160. As of midnight last night, we are down by 48 votes. It will bounce around a little during the day depending on who gets votes in first, but he is nowadding 360 votes more than us each day. With 3 days left, and if he adds no more new votes, he will be 1130 votes ahead at the end. We have been adding about 50 a day, but efforts are being stepped up.
I’m sure he has guessed at a number of paper ballots that he thinks we have, and is shooting to get over that number. I’m thinking he is just using the phone book, or possibly one of the other school’s registry to add voters, because simply adding 260 votes on a whim borders on the impossible. I’m just hoping that his guess at our paper ballots is 1000 – we can cover that. People at work have stepped it up even further, and I have 70 votes to drop today. The big question is, will ALL the paper ballots make it down to Green Bay? I drop into 4 different boxes in town, figuring even if one doesn’t make it, the vote loss will be only a quarter.
Almost afraid to see how many more votes he might add on the weekend once he isn’t bothered by having to teach. At least it’s almost over, either way!
Thanks for all the votes, and for spreading the word. Appreciate all the effort going into this whole thing!
