    A depressing day working the DE polls (primary)

    Just arrived home from clerking at my local polling place (Conrad School, Wilmington) and out of 1880 registered to vote, only 206 showed up to vote in this important primary.

    Of those that came out to vote, I would estimate that 75% were over 60 years old (which humbled the hell out of me!). Voters between 18-30 were nearly non-existant.

    But, most depressing of all, were the voter roles (which reflected the auctual voter turnout) which favored democrates, 8 to 1, over republicans!

    Tom Carper has been an undaunted supporter of illegal (cheap) labor...and it is high time we turn the tables on this Delaware traitor.

    We need some face to face "Tom time"....NOW!

    We here do not know your local papers but if it will help I will send an editorial. You would have to coach me in what to say as I do not know this Tom Carper.

    We have the same problem here in Indiana, most of the voters are over 60. I think the majority of these people vote straight republican or democrat instead of looking at issues or what the candidates stand for.

    Low voter turnouts favor conservatives. Also, the people showing up are more likely to really know what is really going on.

    When we lose our senior citizens, we will lose our Country! There are very few young ones that care enough, or will get their head out of the X-box and they have also been brainwashed into thinking America is the fault of everything bad.
    Do not vote for Party this year, vote for America and American workers!
