John Hammond said –
Let me put it very simply:
It’s over you are out numbered and out organized and every day that passes you will be even more out numbered. You have lost the demographic battle.
I did not give you all that actual voter turnout and registered voter data because I like numbers. Count the votes and look at where they are.
These data were to show you that we did not need any voters in the rural areas of the county to win and in two years we will need them even less.
We spent almost nothing in rural Chatham to defeat the referendum. All our funds went to the GOTV effort where our base is in the northeast.
Is that clear???
