Where are my swing state phone and text bankers?

I was a text volunteer and participated in the Georgia campaign and I was struck by how energized and certain so many recipients were I “talked” to. Even a lot of the wrong number republicans were pretty civil compared to some other states. I had a really good feeling about Georgia from that!

Did you have similar experiences?

Raphael Warnocke's nephew when I was phonebanking. This man cooked breakfast for 15 friends and family members and then told them they were going to vote. Almost everyone I spoke with in Georgia was cordial, unlike some other states I called.
So excited to see Georgia go blue. Going to phonebank for Warnocke and Ossoff!

Twenty year veteran at phone banking. After first two weeks it changed dramatically. People more civil lot's of folks from the Republican Butt party. Lots on our side that needed a cheer leader. Some that just needed someone to talk to. Some who were having their own crisis.

Everyone was very polite, even the one Republican guy, who told me about how Democrats were really promoting socialism. Most every person that I spoke to had already early voted or had requested, received and returned their absentee ballot!
