GOTV, part 2

[owlmoose]

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.

Thank you for your volunteer work to get people to vote!

At least where I am, texting is a much better way to go.

From my personal experience, including those around me during my workday, almost none of us answer unrecognized phone numbers, many of us ignore/delete strange voice mail without listening, and SMS is the only way for a stranger to get political messages through. If I received a text to GOTV, I'd read it. I wouldn't respond. But I would remind myself to vote if I hadn't already (note: I have). True, only an anecdote from one POV but... GOTV via SMS sounds awesome because if anyone tried calling, *shrug* I would never know.
