Pre-Election Party

Less than twenty four hours before the polls opened on election day, the GW College Democrats hosted a pre-election rally Monday afternoon to prepare its members for tonight’s election results party in the Marvin Center, where the CDs and CRs will gather to watch the election returns.

The rally, which took place in Kogan Plaza, featured the “Yes We Can” drive, in which students donated nonperishable food items to be donated to charity in exchange for an official Obama/Biden rally sign to wave at the election results party. Students could also make their own banners, using the markers and paper supplied by the CDs.

Tonight’s party will be taking place in three different rooms in the Marvin center: the CDs and CRs will each have a separate ballroom on the third floor, where they will be watching the returns as they come in. Program Board will be hosting the actual party in Columbian Square, which will feature food from Sodexho and Crepeaway, and activities such as balloon darts, spin art, and patriotic tattoos.

The CDs are advising all party attendants to bring a blanket and pillow, in case of a long night.
