What it is really like to work on a campaign: GOTV is the final sprint

Ballots drop here in Washoe County today and tomorrow. Everyone registered gets a mailed ballot in Nevada. Most people vote early, whether by mail or in numerous neighborhood locations.

The door knockers turn their energy to making sure the infrequent voters we've been talking with for months follow through. These people are mostly folks who go through life not thinking much about politics or elections, so we work to Get Out the Vote. The only way to stop our polite entreaties is to cast that ballot.

The work is always hard, but what has been a marathon since July is now more like a sprint.

Hi Jan! Thanks for all you're doing in Nevada!
A friend and I are coming to canvass in Reno, but not until Nov 4.
Best wishes,
