GOTV is done primarily through local candidates and other groups.
He is pretty good at having rallies and introducing all of candidates.
He's fairly charismatic and I think that motivates some people.

A state legislator complained that our chair didn't support him when they were battling Republicans in Austin because he was busy running for mayor. The county chair complained that above state rep was not a sustaining member of the local party. (He wasn't paying $10/month for sustaining membership)

He is working on the getting voting machines that also have paper ballots.

I would rather not say where I live.
Where I live it somewhat blue.

It's a difficult decision
