6. well Cuyahoga county is ginormous

so you'd think they would have a huge county party.

My own county in 70,000 people, with 10-11,000 Democratic voters, but our party struggles to get 20 at a meeting or event. This has been true for my entire 9 years of involvement. We get a Congressional candidate here and cannot even get a crowd of 100 to listen to them.

We have booths at the County Fair, but not very many people visit them. The same was true when I went to Manhattan (Kansas) as a candidate. I talked to maybe two voters in that county of 60,000 people. One of the guys I met working at the booth had already voted even though the actual primary was still three weeks away.

More important is the fair parade, I handed out hundreds of cards in that (which may not have done much good, but at least you kind of are contacting voters).
