Does MoveOn Get Out the Vote?
A newly released study finds that when people were contacted by MoveOn’s get-out-the-vote canvassers, they appeared to be seven percent more likely to vote than the general population, which is damned significant.
For the record, I find MoveOn’s appeals to be akin to the sound of fingernails on a blackboard, but if the study is anywhere near accurate, they are to be commended.
One Response to “Does MoveOn Get Out the Vote?”
I have volunteered on the last several general Election Days for various Democratic-affiliated groups. Last November I went door-to-door in a neighborhood down by the Ohio River. I don’t much care for MoveOn.org but strongly support encouraging citizens to register and vote.
