Over at Electoral-Vote.com, there's a very interesting story about careful and thorough canvassing to get out the vote for the Democrats:
They don't stop with checking a box on an app if the person says they're voting. They want us to ask not only about their plan to vote but that they text a picture of their "I voted" sticker or one of them dropping off their ballot to prove they've voted. And the bigger ask is for people with mail-in ballots to fill them out right then and there, while we wait. Then, we're asking them to drop that ballot off immediately, and offering them a ride to do it.
Remarkably, many voters will do just that. And remember, these are low-propensity voters. I was amazed at how many people were willing to text me a picture of their sticker after they voted. What that means is these votes are definitively banked. I've never been a part of this type of operation.
According to the organizers, they've banked more than a thousand votes this way since voting began....
We canvassed many neighborhoods in Phoenix and Scottsdale and didn't see anyone from the Trump campaign. We saw plenty of Trump signs but no one from the campaign or any other Republican group.
If this is the kind of sophisticated operation the Harris campaign and others are running, it's very impressive. And there are more people volunteering and enthusiastically fanning out to get those votes than any other group I've seen. I'm not sure how you measure this enthusiasm and these results in a poll.
In contrast, this week has seen several news stories describing Trump canvassers who weren't told they were promoting Trump until after they'd signed a non-disclosure agreement, and lots of suspect data (that is, probable instances of workers reporting a voter contact that they hadn't actually made) within the Republican canvassing operations.
