I have been going door to door in Virginia for the GOP. (Obama Must Be Defeated!)
They send me out with a clipboard, with a list of specific addresses to knock on - mostly solid republicans, and several already have signs out.
They give me registration forms and forms to request absentee ballots. I ask if the folks need or want these.
So the first guy seems perfectly legit.
The second one was an off the wall request that I’ve never heard of. Report for a school project? Collecting images for use in ads? Whatever, it creeps me out too.
As far as the election study goes and picture request, I've never seen that before.
We’re in Winter Park and had the same thing. Nice guy w/ 2 sons. Thought it was alittle odd he was asking us who we’ll vote for with our Romney and Mack signs in the yard but...oh well. Hopefully he’s hitting everyone, not just those of us that appear declared.
