Poll question: GOTV and you.
It all comes down to the ground game. Are you in?

1. Called Indiana voters today...

My first time doing it! It's kind of fun once you get used to it a little bit.

4. Depends on who you're calling.
Edited on Sat Nov-01-08 06:16 PM by Occam Bandage
If you're calling in a precinct with a lot of immigrants, entry-level housing, or elderly people, then you'll see a lot of turnover, and with it a lot of wrong numbers. Still, I'd be surprised there were so many wrong numbers; we weeded through most of the wrong numbers in our database by August.

5. I was calling in eastern PA today.
I did get some numbers that were disconnected and some that were business numbers.

One thing I did find was that nearly every number I called was answered by a machine rather than a human. Almost everybody screens their calls these days.

8. I've been phone banking
Thursday I was calling for IL2IN GOTV
Today spent 4 hrs talking to IN voters to GOTV.
It's been a wonderful experience.
There were many enthusiastic people of all ages at the phone bank today.
Next shift I work is on Monday.
I hate to skip a day but I must rest my voice.
