Democratic National Committee war plan: Target 50 million voters
WASHINGTON — Looking to harness anti-Donald Trump enthusiasm in what could be a banner year for Democrats, the Democratic National Committee will announce Wednesday that it's planning to contact 50 million voters before the November elections.
The DNC, which has struggled financially and faced doubts about its relevance, will focus its 2018 midterm elections organizing plans around partnerships with a wide range of groups aimed at boosting turnout among Democratic-leaning voters, who have been less likely to get to the polls in recent non-presidential elections.
In the most recent midterm elections in 2014, 47 million fewer people voted than did in 2012, when former President Barak Obama was on the ballot.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement that the effort "translates activism and marches into committing to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot this November and is designed to reach voters and communities across the country with new innovative tools and technologies, key partnerships, and online and on-the-ground organizing strategies."
