So this poliblogger worked the Virginia Primary election all day yesterday and was quite busy, that's 13 hours of work, and it was long! In fact, the state needs more people to work come November, so you should sign up if you can! The state of Virginia will be going back to optical scanners due to budget cuts. So, you might consider voting in absentee, because the November election day is going to be a long day, baby.
The location happened to be right by Amit Singh's apartment building and his supporters came in all day long to vote. Amit even came in to vote and was filmed! In fact, this poliblogger was filmed as well...ah, a Hollywood moment. But Amit still lost and the Republican part of Arlington still pushed for some guy that was the same old clam chowder that always looses to Jim Moran VA-08.
Whatever, you can see Amit's press release below.

Statement by the Amit Singh for Congress Campaign(Arlington, VA) - The following is a statement issued by Amit Singh:
"Dear Friends,
Thank you for all of the support, the encouragement, and the countless hours of hard work you have given me throughout this process. Without you this campaign, this vision for a brighter and stronger future for America and the Republican Party, would not have have been realized.
I know many of you are disappointed with the outcome of this election. But we accomplished a lot since I announced my candidacy in March. We brought together an energized and motivated organization not seen recently in the district. We raised about $64,000. And we convincingly demonstrated that the 8th District is ready for change, ready for principled leadership, ready for our vision of the future.
I felt compelled to run. I sensed something was wrong with America at its core, and this feeling culminated in a campaign for Congress. But it won't end there (no, I'm not seeking the VP nomination). I encourage all of you stay involved and active in our vision of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and personal freedom and continue to spread the vision of a brighter future for America.
Thank you and God Bless,
Amit
