Sending Postcards questions
My wife volunteered to send postcards and got her first batch (Ohio voters). Two questions about them:
thanks – dave
I signed up for 500, destined for Florida. I’ve modified my message slightly. I’m half-finished and keep reminding myself that Gore
wononly lost by 500 votes and some change.My spouse and friends are writing postcards, too.
Research says ANY approach to voter contact is good. Postcards, texting, phone calls, and letters all have some research showing higher turnout from those contacted. Details are hard to pin down, since there likely are multiple things happening in a political campaign. I've not seen anyone say "people change their minds" — but what most appear to be doing is motivating those most likely to vote in the "right way." — asking people to check their registrations, develop a plan to vote, and actually getting to the polls.
There is a guy running a group Hope Springs from Field that takes volunteers into swing districts and precincts. His group is trying to get 5 contacts of some sort to all the marginal voters on their turf.
My hope … all those who are writing postcards etc. are also taking time to write to all those on their contact lists — even the Christmas card / once a year catch-up letter list — with reasons to support Harris/Walz, Democratic Senators and Representatives who can create majorities, and all the down ballot candidates who are in favor of democracy.
