Why can't we just call all the Democratic voters in FL. counties

with opti-scan machines. If we target the smaller counties, it's only 10,000 or 15,000 voters. A statistical analysis would be easier, but if we get enough volunteers we could easily handle this many calls. Is it worth trying to organize this. Would it be taken seriously or would we need to hire a professional firm to be taken seriously?

1. as a pre-"election" canvasser and phone volunteer,

I learned just how nearly impossible it is to actually reach more than a small percentage of the people on the list.

I'm no statistician, but even doing it scientifically would still be a poll. It wouldn't provide hard proof of anything.

2. Pollsters get as many hangups as we did

I guess I just think it's not that hard or expensive to just poll these voters. Let's see how they actually voted. In many of these counties the recorded vote indicates that most Democrats voted for *. Let's just check.

3. Another thought...If the local Dems had a GOTV drive

they would have call sheets which indicate how the Dems planned to vote. The Republicans would have the same. Not conclusive, but an indication of Dems intent.
