Just a note to say my hat is off to any of you who may have been involved with the Virginia primaries yesterday. I got a chance to observe three different polling places. They were incredibly busy, and had the extra challenge of dealing with the sleet and having school in session. Everything went smoothly, and people were in a very upbeat mood.

That's the best performance I have seen by election volunteers in a long time. We had a record turnout, and I hope that the positive experience will result in many first time voters becoming regular voters.

And if you voted yesterday, let me take the opportunity to say Thank you!.

I was thrilled as well to see the great turnout especially with the weather as it was after work yesterday.

I was surprised because my polling location was deserted! There was no line and I got right in. I was surprised that there wasn't somewhat of a bigger turnout. Maybe I just missed everyone . Glad to hear though that some places were busy .
