to register at the polling place on election day, too, but I always have registration forms and information when I walk my precinct, too. There's also a link on the precinct website, which I maintain, that lets people get registration information.

It's a proven fact that people who register to vote prior to an election almost always vote in that election. Voter Registration is a powerful GOTV strategy.

And failing to show backbone and back the Maddow agenda of higher taxes on wealthy, less military spending no cuts to so ail safety net etc.

Exhortations to get out the vote in the absence of anything or anyone to vote for is fail. People will motivate themselves when there is a reason. The corp dems are killing the party

You're wrong, you know. Almost all legislative elections, both state and federal, are local elections, and local GOTV efforts work very well, thank you very much.

A strong GOTV effort by Democrats, as individuals, won't win every district, of course, but it can win more than enough to turn the tables on the Republicans.

I want to see this headline in many districts in November:

Surprising Democratic Upset Win Tuesday's Election!

Maybe you're not willing to work for that, but please don't discourage those who are. Thanks.

it's surrender.

if you dont like the choices on the ballot, the time to do something about that is in the primaries. if you dont like those choices, run yourself, or find someone you like better and support them.

but at this point, you only have the choices before you. either pick on yourself, or others will pick for you.

It's time to elect Democrats to every position we can. Any individual Democrat may not be perfect, but as a group, Democrats vote for progress. Republicans never do! That simple fact should send everyone running to the polling place to vote. We need Democratic majorities in every legislative body.

ConservaDem Cuomo will almost certainly be renominated. Nevertheless, there are some state legislative races that are competitive. Even in the marquee race, the commentariat will be analyzing the significance of Cuomo's margin against a little-known progressive challenger.

My pedantry about getting details right is not intended to deprecate GOTV work.

August primaries were late in the year. Looks like NY is even later.

Until then, it doesn't matter.

I'd love to see a thread a day about what efforts DUers did/plan to do (today) to Get Out The Democratic Vote for 2014!

I hope we'll see more and more GOTV posts in the run-up to the election.

As for today, I'm putting out my yard signs.

and put it back up, this morning. I fully expect to have to put it back up most mornings until November ... gotta love Arizona!

Just keep putting your sign up. Maybe they'll get tired of taking it down. I have one 3'x4' Franken sign, but can't find the standard for it, so I'll have to build a new one. I'll try to get around to that this afternoon.

is more a symptom of my sub-division, rather a reflection of the larger community.

The street I live on doesn't have much traffic other than by neighbors, but I figure it can't hurt to have the signs out.

In fact selling our home, a sign can only be in the window. Can you believe it? It is true. I didn't realize that when I moved in. Oh well. What can you do? The lawns look Pristine. Lol.

Seeing some results. Ohio needs a lot of help to turn the state back to purple.

These days, social media is huge in GOTV efforts, particularly this early in the process.

But I will shut up about voting when we get to 100% turnout, or I croak. Whichever comes first.

We're getting like 90 percent turn-out for people that vote absentee (by mail) instead of the 40 percent in person. Already, a number of state level Democrats have won because the mail-in ballots made the difference.

It's relatively new in Minnesota, but it's a great idea.

Massachusetts Governor is one of the spots on the ballot along with Senator Markey. I was reminding my coworkers this weekend to GOTV!

Keep the OP's coming MM, excellent idea!

And I thought Minnesota's August primaries were late...

GOTV 2014!

St Paul as well as your precinct participation there. We seem to have a lot of new DUers who might be voting for the first time or who may be looking for a place to belong...
