A couple of stories from the campaign from Democrat volunteers (a nice one and a bad one, just to balance things):

1. While I was handing out the HTV cards a man with a thick accent came through and made sure he got a HTV card from every party and continued on inside to vote. After he voted he came and stood in front of all the people handing out HTV cards while the person he was with video taped him chatting in Spanish to camera. Once he was finished he explained to us that he was from Cuba and this was his first chance to vote and he was making a movie to send home to his relatives. He was so happy that he shook all of our hands and left with a grin from ear to ear.

2. My 75 year old mother was helping me letterbox a suburb a long way from where she lived. She got lost and after wandering around for an hour, came upon some people from another party letterboxing. She explained the situation and asked to use their mobile to call me and they refused!
