President Obamas campaign released numbers Saturday that illustrate the robust ground operation Democrats say will secure him a second term Tuesday night.
In a memo sent to reporters, the Obama campaign said it opened more than 5,000 get-out-the-vote staging locations Saturday morning in advance of the big push for votes Tuesday. Based in homes and businesses, the GOTV locations are localized versions of Obama field offices from which teams of volunteers using what the campaign says is advanced software will coordinate efforts to win the battleground states.
The campaign revealed some impressive results from its grassroots operations so far. Team Obama says the campaign has registered 1,792,261 new voters across the battleground states. Thats nearly double the number of voters the Obama campaign registered in 2008, according to the campaign.
Obama volunteers have had more than 125,646,479 personal contacts with voters by Saturday via phone calls and door knocks, the campaign said. That doesnt count the robocalls on auto-dialers, mail, literature drops or any other non-volunteer, non-personal contacts, the campaign said.
