Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsReport on my last phone banking shift in ME CD-2.
I mostly had voicemail prompts, with hang ups in second place. I spoke for 12 minutes to one truly undecided voter, and I think I won her over. About 2/3s of the way through my shift, some canvassers came to the door to check in with us. One of them was in ElderGreenKids class.
Wish Id had more results than a single possible vote, but its better than nothing.

I won't lie. A lot of Trumpers here, so I'm feeling nervous. But there are shy Biden voters around.

What was that voter 'undecided' about?

I talked up the possibility of a Medicare buy-in and pointed out that in a hunting state like ours, democrats arent looking to take away guns. Shes open to voting for people who favor common sense gun laws.

That's an important district so one voter is a win.

Hopefully enough to win it.
