Foreign Press Tours Stafford

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. -- On Super Tuesday, members of the foreign press got a look an inside look at Virginia’s Primary Election process from right here in the Potomac Communities.

Reporters and photographers from outside the U.S. stopped at H.H. Poole Middle School on March 6 to interview Precinct Chief Ben Martin and Electoral Board Vice Chairman Steve Albertson, according to a Stafford County press release.

The reporters toured the area to learn more about U.S. politics, its form government and its culture. Virginia was picked because of its swing state status in 2008, when voters helped to elect President Barack Obama and then elected Republican Governor Robert F. McDonnell a year later, according to the press release.
