“GOP voters should not have to be contacted to vote PERIOD”
Exactly! Every time I read about the election loss being the fault of a failed ORCA I can’t imagine what they are actually talking about. They are going to go out and drag people who live under a rock and don’t know it’s election day to the polls? Fact is, a lot of potential R voters chose not to vote. PERIOD. Romney wasn’t conservative enough, he’s a Mormon .... lots of excuses to reelect Obama.
That said, at our polling place, during the early hours on Tuesday there were no less than four Dem poll watchers checking off their targeted voters. Nary a Repub. (it’s a deep blue precinct).
One funny, darling story, was a voter, 85 years old who told me he’d never voted before in his life! He’d spoiled his paper ballot and had to wait a while for the elections chief to get to him with a replacement ballot .. no problem! He was happy to wait so he could vote for “Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann.”
In a lot of cases, yes. In even more cases it's members of the 100 million or so who aren't motivated to vote, that they drag to the polls, but if you can get 5 million of those to the booth, usually you win.
