Dem-aligned group announces return to in-person canvassing in seven states
A Democratic-aligned group announced Thursday that it would return to in-person voter canvassing for candidates in seven states this weekend.
Progressive Turnout Project (PTP) said in a press release that volunteers would be on the ground in a number of battleground states including Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Georgia, Iowa and Kansas.
The campaign is part of a $52.5 million investment the PTP has made in Democratic incumbents and candidates this election cycle.
All volunteers would be supplied with masks and hand sanitizer, and would take other necessary precautions required to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which has largely halted in-person gatherings around the country for months, according to the release.
"This is the most consequential election of our lifetimes," said Alex Morgan, the PTP's executive director. Donald Trumps response to the pandemic and recent protests further prove that he is fundamentally incapable of doing his job. Its essential that we get to work now by having the kind of early, face-to-face conversations that our research shows boost Democratic turnout.
