AFL-CIO’s super-PAC shifts focus to get out the vote efforts in Wis.

The AFL-CIO’s super-PAC is shifting gears Monday to encourage voters to head to the polls for the recall against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).

Up until this point, Workers’ Voice has been running online ads directing people to sign up to volunteer for the campaign against Walker. Now, the super-PAC for the nation’s largest labor federation is moving into advertising for its get-out-the-vote effort.

“Scott Walker’s extreme agenda is wrong for Wisconsin,” reads one online ad by the group. “Find your polling place.”

The ads are designed to remind people to vote in the recall election this Tuesday and will allow them to click through and find their nearby polling place. Workers’ Voice is targeting individuals who have signed recall petitions as well as Democrats who are less likely to turn out to vote, according to results from the super-PAC’s field program.

reports are that there are over 100K early voting ballots out or already turned in...

Reince Preibus (rinse penis?) is already doing the REpub "freakout" thing about voter fraud which I take to mean they know the early numbers are leaning toward Barrett...
