Left-leaning group launches phone bank effort targeting swing states

[RandySF]

A progressive group announced Thursday that it would spend nearly $3 million on a nationwide phone-banking campaign to engage Democratic-leaning voters in states seen as crucial to the Democratic Party in 2020.

In a press release, the Progressive Turnout Project (PTP) announced that it would spend $2.9 million on Turnout 2020, a phonebanking effort targeting states such as Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as Democrats hope to win the states that President Trump won in 2016 to the surprise of many analysts.

The campaign will also target Senate races in Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Iowa, Michigan, Arizona and North Carolina, according to organizers, as well as House races in those states and possibly others.

“With COVID-19, activists are looking for ways to engage with voters while practicing safe distancing and Turnout 2020 helps with that,” said PTP Executive Director Alex Morgan in the news release, referring to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

1. Hopefully This Will Help, Sir

Though my reaction when my phone makes noise and I do not recognize the number is seldom printable.

On the other hand, I have been waiting for years to vote again against this cheap thug, and for every Democrat I can find on the ballot, for years already....

2. Not a great idea at this point.

Any call I get that is not from family, neighbor, friend is not well received at this point. Let this simmer. Wait until some kind of corner has been turned.
