Phone banking PA voters with Unite-HERE this morning went well. Even hangups were polite. Helped a few people make a plan to vote. Saved one lady from “provisional vote" status. Got some to change plan from mailing absentee ballots to taking them to drop boxes. It felt useful.
I was struck by a brief conversation with a young woman who said, “So far, I'm only seeing two choices, Harris or Trump. I want to explore all of my choices before I make my decision.” I didn't waste any more of my limited GOTV time with her, but the conversation made me wonder— is it possible to do an effective ad campaign providing what we educators call “direct instruction" on the impact of third-party candidates? Our youngest voters (and perhaps some of our older ones, too) deserve to have this information. Would love to hear ideas on what such an ad campaign might look like.
