GOTV, part 2

I have no idea if texting for GOTV is actually reaching anyone (I sent 50 texts this evening and only got one -- postive, yay! -- response back), but it's certainly easier than calling, and for me way less stressful.

Although I have chorus tomorrow, I think I'll make time to send some more. And I'm sorry I didn't do this weeks ago. In 2020, I'll be back for sure.

re. icon - thanks! It's a picture of a poster from 2016, but it holds true for every election. (Although I always reserve the right to both boo *and* vote.)

I think that's true for a lot of people, which is why it's become so popular. When I went to the phone bank on Saturday, we were strongly encouraged to join the callers rather than the texters, but I'm starting to wonder if the conventional wisdom on that is true. Certainly will become less true over time.

My main hesitation is the potential cost to people who don't have unlimited texting plans. I wonder if there's some way they work it so that the cost of an unsolicited text is borne by the sender?
