We have all read a thousand times in the past month - or year - GOTV efforts will be the key for a Democratic win. As an employee for America Coming Together, I know how many people will be on the ground here (Iowa) this weekend, next weekend, and election day. I also know how many people will be on the ground in Ohio. I'm not going to divulge the exact numbers, but let me assure everyone that they are astounding.
I've been canvassing in Iowa for 4 months, I know the ACT system and how effective it has been. The number of HVT absentee ballot requests we collected has 5 digits. And while the deadline for requesting a ballot is approaching, we have more coming in everyday, and I'm sure the Dems have an equally impressive number.
The GOTV program will work, and it will increase turnout. That goes for every single battle ground state. Some of this has been said before, but for those of us who are a little anxious about Nov. 2, I am simply hoping to bolster your confidence.
