GOTV discussion, on Election Day
Happy #ElectionDay in the US!
My household already did #votebymail, and I confirmed our votes were received. (thanks USPS, this time)
I did a bunch of #PostcardsToVoters for multiple states.
Ohio Supreme Court (Jennifer Brunner, Terri Jamison, & Marilyn Zayas), Georgia (Raphael Warnock & Stacey Abrams), Texas (Beto, O'Rourke, Susan Hays, and Luke Warford), & Nebraska (Tony Vargas for Congress).
I did texting for a few candidates, but most texts went to Oregon for Jamie McLeod-Skinner & Senator Patty Murray.
I've been reminding my friends to vote for a few days now, and I have a handful that I've promised to "Blow Uo Their Phones" until they send me a photo of their I VOTED sticker.
My last major #GOTV effort will be texts I'll send to me parents this morning. I grew up in one of the WOW counties of Wisconsin. I thought I was conservative/Republican until college (ish) since it was such a thought bubble. My mom is a teacher with an independent voting streak. My dad was a Republican until he registered as a Democrat to protest the Previous Guy. My dad works the polls, and I know they're both planning to vote today.
I'm planning to ask them to vote for Democrats. I'm not sure if it'll work, but I want to try.
in Wisconsin, polls open at 7 and close at 8pm. If you're an American and eligible to vote, please vote (even if you're voting for Republicans). Our democracy is stronger when everyone participates.
