We have quite a few students on my campus talking about being paid to do a "knock and drag." I'm not sure what that means, but that's what is happening and it is for the Democrats.

It's what the Dems use to boost turnout. Pretty much, they go door-to-door and get people to go out and vote straight Dem.

It's pretty effective, IMHO.

Democrats have a simple phrase that sums up their voter-turnout effort: "knock and drag." A crew of paid workers storms through predominantly black neighborhoods and coaxes, cajoles, or browbeats every registered voter to the polls. It's a form of political activity that was well-known in the big-city, white-ethnic machines of the past but has only recently emerged as a key to black turnout.

Welcome to FR slim - In Kansas City someone has been calling the retired absentee voters and telling them their absentee ballots will not be counted and they need to vote again at the polls. Note these people are the most likely to have fallen for the dems scare tactics on social security. I don't think they will able to vote again but sure sounds like a dirty democrat trick to me... Vote the bastards out today.
