de Jongh-Francis Campaign Applauds Results of
Student Mock Election Results at CAHS

De Jongh-Francis 2010 Chairman Robert O'Connor today announced with great pride that Governor John P. de Jongh, Jr. and Lt. Governor Gregory R. Francis dominated yesterday's mock election by the students of Charlotte Amalie High School (CAHS). The governor and lieutenant governor received a solid 56% of the vote compared to only 44% for the Mapp-Sekou team. This news comes in addition to the de Jongh-Francis team winning the Sts. Peter and Paul School 74% to 25% and the Moravian School 65% to 29% for an impressive day at the polls.

O'Connor said, "The most important and final poll will obviously be on Election Day but what may be considered the second-most important poll is the choice made by our young people and the future voters of our islands. Wednesday's mock elections allowed our students to say who they believe the best candidates are when it comes to their future and they said loud and clear that they support the re-election of their governor and lieutenant governor." 

"With all the misrepresentation of polling numbers that has been going on by our opposition, including their now-exposed false claims about an 'independent poll,' it is nice to see a completely objective and unbiased set of results and just as important, I want to highlight the fact that the students at Charlotte Amalie High School have been on the mark each and every time when it comes to selecting their governor since 1970. We fully expect that they will be correct once again when Election Day arrives this Tuesday."

O'Connor concluded, "We have said before that this is all very good news but we still have a lot of hard work between now and Election Day and we are going to continue to do the hard work each and every day to get our vote out on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2nd."
