We had volunteers ready to give people rides to the polls if they needed it. We even had an election prep potluck dinner to pick up our supplies and coordinate with other volunteers. I live in a republican congressional district, but we weren't taking anything for granted.
I have not had that level of involvement since. And, I have not had one single piece of republican campaign literature left at my house, or anyone visit me in this election.
From what I'm reading, this system was set aside in favor of people essentially "tweeting" information on who showed up at the polls and who didn't? Tell me I'm wrong!
Yup - and some how they were going to route this info through boston and then back and then try to get in touch with that voter later in the day to remind them to vote.
The entire thing was a ponzi scheme or maddoff operation.
