Well guys
That did not go according to plan. I think we underestimated the primary electorate by 50% - we expected about 28k and it was more like 45K - which means I would have had to raise $400k just for name ID, and that was never going to happen. I have never worked so hard with less to show for it. It was always a longshot, I just didn't realize how long.
Thanks to everyone who supported us.
