Does vote shaming work (to get someone to vote)?

A friend received this letter today. LOL! I actually think this is a funny idea that might be effective.

1. Creepy shit.

Never ends w the computer data. "It'll make things easier"......yep and groan.

2. Why is this different than me knocking on your door saying "I know you haven't voted"?

When I was a Ward Committeeman in 1980, I had street lists of every voter, and I tallied people as they showed up to vote.

3. I dunno....fearful of the NEXT step...

We know you vote for Obama and Hillary and Bill And Kerry and Gore...and we are here to pull you OUT of your house, and tar and feather you.

8. But we DON'T know how you voted...and nothing in our voting system provides that linkage

9. oh? When we send in our ballots they are signed and our return address has

to be on them correctly, or they are "bad ballots" or whatever and put aside. That's FAR too much info for my liking. In my area, someone throwing away a Dem ballot would be viewed w an elbow, wink and snicker. After dt, I count NOTHING out, and neither should you. Respectfully. That's my experience though. Everyone's different obviously.

4. That really works

I used to do the same thing. Late afternoon all those who hadn't voted yet on the Dem list would get a call: Hi, Millie. We see you haven't voted yet. We really need you. When are you going out to vote? Do you need a ride?

And more often then not, they'd get their coat on and go vote.

5. Because that is creepy as shit.

Both the letter and what you describe. If you knocked on my door and told me that, your odds of making it off my property would depend on if I had shoes on.

6. The word "creepy" is overused sometimes

Is it really that creepy or is it just unnerving for some people to be held accountable for their actions?

7. It's creepy.

I like the word so, I use it. Thanks though. Good to know I suppose. Some words fit for me...like that one, here. Happy Halloween.

11. I think many people would be shocked

to find out exactly how much of what they think of as their "personal" information is actually a matter of public record, accessible to anyone for any reason.

10. I got one of those today.

I’m in NC, live on a rural road, so it’s pretty obvious who is who.

I was not amused, and I think it’s creepy as hell.

12. I would be madder then hell if

I got some creepy crap like that!
