Republican activists in swing states say they have seen little sign of the teams tasked with knocking on doors and turning out infrequent voters on behalf of Donald Trump, raising concerns about the party’s presidential nominee relying on outside groups for an important part of his campaign operations.
Trump and the Republican National Committee he controls opted to share get-out-the-vote duties in key parts of the most competitive states this year with groups such as America PAC, the organization supported by billionaire Elon Musk.
It is difficult to demonstrate that something is not happening. But with fewer than 50 days until the Nov. 5 election, dozens of Republican officials, activists and operatives in Michigan, North Carolina and other battleground states say they have rarely or never witnessed the group’s canvassers. In Arizona and Nevada, the Musk-backed political action committee replaced its door-knocking company just this past week.
“I haven’t seen anybody,” said Nate Wilkowski, field director for the Republican Party in vote-rich Oakland County, Michigan, which includes crucial Detroit suburbs. He was speaking specifically of America PAC. “Nobody’s given me a heads-up that they’re around in Oakland County areas.
*** “I don’t know what the PACs are doing,” said Mark Forton, the GOP chair in Macomb County, Michigan, a populous, suburban area northeast of Detroit. “I don’t know if they are going door to door.” ***
Based on ad reservations for Harris and the leading super PAC supporting her, they are on track to spend nearly $175 million more than Trump’s campaign and the leading super PACs supporting him by Election Day. Harris’ campaign has outspent Trump’s on advertising by 2-to-1 since she entered the race on July 23, according to the media tracking firm AdImpact. ***

Why should anybody be knocking on doors of Republican voters? they’re already registered.
We need to register people that aren’t affiliated with either party.
What do the internal polls say? Is the campaign too far ahead or behind there to make any difference? Is the campaign money being targeted to where is can actually help?
Who are the assassins?
Who has ever changed or made up their mind who to vote for because someone knocked on your door?
If it was a race I didn’t have much interest in I’d be sure to NOT vote for that candidate just because intrusion on my privacy.
Associated Pravda is building their narrative.
TPUSA is doing far more registrations on college campuses!
“... I’d be sure to NOT vote for that candidate just because intrusion on my privacy.”
Well said.
Who are the assassins?
You are either in or out it’s very simple
“””Who has ever changed or made up their mind who to vote for because someone knocked on your door?”””
Human contact makes a difference and is why so many expensive products used to be sold door to door.
Considering the current political climate, knocking on someone’s door to talk about Trump could get you shot. Better have a body cam
Just checked indeed. They are hiring canvassers in Maine and New Hampshire. Both sides.

Yep. Good and accurate name - Associated Pravda
Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses do the door thing. Perhaps it works on a few malleable souls.

I never liked doorknockers regardless of what they’re peddling. It’s best to have a fenced perimeter, cameras, dogs etc. We unfortunately live in a world where unknowns entering your property uninvited should be seen as a serious potential threat.
It has more to do with turnout than registration.
