"Well, I am in Ohio and my precinct captain (whoever he or she is) certainly does not know how I am going to vote because I have never been called, contacted, or otherwise "
Maybe if you voted in Republican primaries you are assumed to be safe.
I have gotten mail from several Republican groups -- none from Dims. Guess they know not to waste their postage!
The mailings have been helpful, because there is info on the court races and lower level jobs in the county.
Just called by Ken Blackwell (recording) making sure I know where my precinct is! He is telling voters: please go to your proper precinct!
Me too, we've gotten a bunch of mailers from Republican candidates (we're new to OH last April), got 2 absentee apps from Republicans, got a phone call from Laura (taped of course, but I listened to it anyway, ha) and got phone polled on our intentions regarding Issue One.
And NOTHING from the Dems, not a single call or piece of mail.
I got that call too!
Indeed, my only concern with the 72-hour program is that it might contact people so often as to alienate them!
