They were gone two days after the election. It was like brigadoon. I did not see or hear of any racist actions but the door to door folks no doubt met up with some. Its out there. Everybody I had contact with were very respectful and business like and friendly. I knew some of the volunteers too. about 95% white vols by my observation.

Kokomo is a very economically depressed area. It is an old automobile industry city with one big plant left that is rumored to be soon to close.

There is a failry large population of african american folks there.

I did a large church addition there about 8 years back for an african american congregation.

I can imagine there is some strong Klan like activity there too.

I don't know much about Martinsville except that it is in Indiana.
