President Barack Obama’s campaign plans to open six more offices this weekend, which will bring to 31 the total number of posts around the state.

Offices are opening on Saturday and Sunday in Emporia, Fluvanna County, Halifax County, Reston, Lynchburg and Mt. Vernon, according to the campaign. A Chesapeake location opened on Wednesday.

At this point, both campaigns are setting up locations across the state at a brisk pace.

Republicans have set up offices across Virginia and have a total of 28 through their “Victory 2012” campaign — a joint effort of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s camp, the Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Virginia.
