In 6-6 in Minneapolis it was taking 20 to 30 minutes to vote. Heavy
turnout.
Not surprising given the number of people canvassing for voters in the
neighborhood. The third ring of my doorbell this morning I started to yell
at the person that I was going to vote if they would let me get dressed and
it turned out to be a Jehovah Witness lady telling me the world was about to
change. Surprise! Surprise!
I must have had twenty-five different visits by DFL people in the last two
weeks. (One by a Republican)Especially heavy door bell ringing this last
week end. I can not count the number of phone calls. With promises to drive
me to the poll, and people I did not know promising to personally vouch that
they knew me and that they knew I lived here. I have never seen such
efforts in all my thirty-seven years of voting. Heck, I have never seen such
efforts cumulatively in all that time!
If that is any indication, and with that effort on the part of DFL
boosters, there should be a VERY, VERY heavy turn out of the inner-city.
