If you have any ideas in how to get people motivated to go vote, I am all ears. I think had more voted this primary, results would have been much better. There ware some very close races!

Huh? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post Lou but what in my post makes you think I said "fukkit" and didn't vote? FYI, I haven't ever missed an election; hell I've worked GOTV, organized volunteers to canvas neighborhoods etc... I certainly understand the importance of this civic duty and I live it. But yesterday's numbers are more than disheartening. Sure, repub numbers are too, but judging by the numbers of DEMS who came out to vote, they aren't any less organized or determined to elect their party incumbents regardless of how much they've hurt this state. Our DINO effort did little to make a dent, and I really did hope we'd at least disrupt a few elections. If anything, I think more DEMS may have actually voted this primary election then last, though I could be mistaken. I'll keep voting until the day we move from this state, but IMO all signs point to continued DEM control. There are just too many factors that weight heavily in favor for the left here; demographics, federal monies, gerrymandered district lines, and the fed up folks who have and are voting with their feet...

In my post (#60) that I quoted one of your posts, my response was in AGREEMENT with your post. Sorry for any misunderstanding as it was not my intention to make you look bad by any means, but in agreement with you in reference to those "others" that didn't vote.

Yeah someone put it in my hand i crumpled it up and threw it away. Always take the stuff from them. That is one less they can hand out to someone too stupid to be voting.

I don't know how well oiled Hogan's machine is, but he'll certainly need all the help he can get since I'm sure Brown's is well organized after two prior elections. I'd recommend contacting Hogan to see what neighborhoods he needs canvassed. Plenty more people will get out to vote for a governor if motivated, while the rest will get swept into office on their coat tails. And more than money, though that certainly helps too, the last campaign I staffed appreciated actual volunteers more. Actual people means more tables filled at events, more neighborhoods canvassed, more people outside of voting locations... Etc.
