The polls are open in West Virginia, and right now volunteers and staff are working hard to Get Out The Vote on the ground. Across the country, supporters are helping from home by making calls to West Virginia voters. Here at the end of this long primary season, it's as important as ever that we finish strong and ensure that all of our supporters know when, where, and how to vote for Barack today.
As West Virginia Deputy State Director Rudi Shenk explained:
The way these delegates work is that if you push the needle of support just a small amount in a particular area, or in a particular Congressional district, the dividends are great. In fact, we stand to gain a lot of delegates here by our activities and your calls.
We entered today only 33 delegates away from an overall majority of pledged delegates, and 150 delegates away from clinching the nomination. By the end of the day, we'll be even closer. Just how much closer depends on the work we do over these next few hours.
Polls are open in West Virginia until 7:30 PM EST tonight. It only takes a minute to get started. The West Virginia GOTV calling campaign runs today from 9:00 AM to the close of polls tonight.
