Dateline: Mooresville North Carolina.

I have been helping out at the Obama booth at the Mooresville

Library for the North Carolina early voting. As of 6:00 P.M. today

there have been 3334 votes at this particular location.

Today it seemed there were more Republicans voting for some reason

and things got a bit nasty. Not on our side of course, because we're

honoring the Obama spirit and not getting into any arguments or

skirmishes with those who disagree with Obama.

We heard Obama being called the leader of the American Fascist

Party, and one called Obama an A******. We had many more today who were

willing to talk to us till they found out we're for Obama and then they

declined our literature. Overall though it went pretty smoothly except

for one time when someone from the elections inside came out and

accused us of putting an Obama sticker on someone who didn't ask for it

and told us that if we did anything like that again, she'd have us

removed from the property.

We all thought it was pretty funny and obviously a Republican fed

lie because we never did any such thing. We'd give stickers to those

who asked for it, and we'd offer stickers, but not once did we ever

stick one on someone, with or without permission and quite frankly we

wouldn't waste an Obama sticker on someone who didn't want one. The

woman who came out to talk to us is not just an election official but

she's also a staunch Republican and she took the complaint at face

value rather than consider that it may be a ploy to try to get us

removed, which they can't do anyway. We told her to proctor us all she

wants to, she won't find us doing anything wrong. She then said, well

we WILL be watching you closely out of the window and if we see you do

anything wrong there will be trouble. We said that's fine, watch us all

you want. We called our boss at the local office just to let him know

about the problem. The thing that the election official probably didn't

know is that a candidate for congress who was handing out election

material had been watching us closely and seeing how we did things, and

HE'S a cop from Cornelius NC. He said, after hearing about the

complaint that he had not seen us doing anything wrong and that if the

lady comes out again to complain, we should tell her to come talk to

him. She said she'd call the cops, probably not knowing one was already

there.....the candidate.

In North Carolina, if you're a resident of the county where you

happen to be trying to vote at, and you have not registered yet, you

can do it right there and THEN vote. That is what my roommate

Lilybilly23 from NP did today. This was her first time voting ever, and

she decided to after watching Obama's DNC acceptance speech.

We had many people come by again who were totally inspired by Obama

and it was amazing to see so many senior citizens voting for Obama. Not

just black senior citizens but the white ones who you'd typically think

are Republican old school. It was quite heartwarming to see that Obama

appeals to even 80 yr olds.
