Creigh, Birds, Worms, & Ducks

From Kristin Cabral,
Fairfax County Post-Election Canvass Coordinator for the Democratic Party of Virginia:

Have you heard "the early bird catches the worm"?

How about "getting all your ducks in a row"?

We owe Creigh and all Democratic candidates

a fully covered post-election canvass

in every jurisdiction in the Commonwealth

. . . especially in Fairfax County,

the largest jurisdiction and rich in Democratic votes.

The Democrats regret to this day that we did not have the post-election canvasses fully covered by Democratic Party observers in 2005 when Creigh narrowly lost to Bob McDonnell in the AG race.

We will not let this happen again.  Let’s plan ahead of time by signing up to volunteer!

To sign up, please send your name, dates, and hours as well as e-mail address and cell phone number to womendemocrats@aol.com.

The post-election canvass is when the Office of Elections verifies the vote totals.  It will take place on Wednesday Nov. 4th, Thursday Nov. 5th, and Friday Nov. 6th, each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Office of Elections, Suite 315-C, Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax.  You may sign up for half-day shifts from either 9 a.m. to Noon, or 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.  There will be a telephonic training session at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1st.

You do not have to be a lawyer.  You do not have to be a registered voter in Fairfax County.

Please sign up by Friday, Oct. 30th — Telephonic training is Nov. 1st, and you need to be on the list of authorized Democratic Party observers before the post-election canvass begins.

We need more volunteers on Thursday, Nov. 5th and Friday, Nov. 6th.

All campaigns need to send me at least 4 volunteers.

All FCDC magisterial districts need to send me at least 5 volunteers.

At the end of Election Week, as the post-election canvass winds down, let’s not be "Monday morning quarterbacks" — ever hear that one, too?  Instead, let’s be happy we had it covered.

Sincerely, Kristin Cabral, 703-448-0944 (h), 703-434-9784 (cell)
