I’m sure not very many likely voters are on the fence any more.
In my GOTV experience we were involved in identifying our voters, maintaining personal contact with them at different junctures in the Election. We put literature in their hands. in the weeks prior to the Election. We went to the polling places and crossed our voters off the list as they cast their votes. “Bag ‘em, Tag ‘em, and Drag ‘em” was the catch-phrase. Our fairly large school district was able to PASS a Facilities Modernization School Bond with a moderate cushion. School Bond initiatives are usually a Forlorn Hope, as they generally generate low turnout and can’t afford to develop a plan.
I’m not in favor of TV messaging. I think most people tune them out and targeting usually turns away a lot of voters relative to any expected gain.
Howard Dean was right about a lot of things. The Fifty-States Strategy was a sound concept.
Find your voters. See that they have documentation and back-up WELL before Election Day. Have a legal strategy and volunteers on hand to backstop any tom-foolery, and try to anticipate snags. That’s where the war-chest should be invested. Let the Networks sell Drugs.
