It was a very cold morning to do a poll outside. I arrived at the firehouse in Union, Kentucky with my friend and assistant Robert around 11:00. At first we stood right outside the doors to the place, but an officer came out and told us we had to step all the way back to the parking lot. At the end of about a half hour, we had found that 11 people voted for Rand Paul, and that only one person voted for Jack Conway. Two people ignored us altogether and refused to take the poll. We received mixed emotional responses from people. Some people were happy to take the poll and eager to help a couple college students. Others seemed slightly annoyed by us but took the poll out of common courtesy. Unfortunately, as stated, there were two instances where the people walked by us without even stopping. Towards the end, my hands felt almost frozen stiff. I should have worn gloves.

An interesting fact is how overwhelmingly the voters supported Rand Paul. Suffice it to say this says a lot on how Union, Kentucky feels toward the elections. It also may hint that my particular area has a more conservative viewpoint towards politics as Rand Paul is a Republican. Nonetheless, Rand Paul was nearly 100% voted for with the exception of two non-voters and a single vote for Conway. This was an interesting discovery indeed.
