Why do they have you encourage Republicans to do early voting? LisaL Oct 2020 #1

Good question. cwydro Oct 2020 #13

I asked that mcar Oct 2020 #33

Don't they normally utilize phone #s of potential Biden voters - not just random voters? Drunken Irishman Oct 2020 #2

Even if those are just random numbers, 90% of them shouldn't be Trump voters. LisaL Oct 2020 #5

When we do this locally, we use VAN, which directs us to mcar Oct 2020 #34

That would depress anyone having that kind of vitriol thrown their way. chowder66 Oct 2020 #3

The scary thing was the uniformity of it mcar Oct 2020 #35

That's creepy. Everything regarding Trump is creepy. chowder66 Oct 2020 #56

Why are you encouraging Republicans to vote at all? PTWB Oct 2020 #4

The theory, from what I was told when I complained, mcar Oct 2020 #36

That's a reason I didn't phone bank vercetti2021 Oct 2020 #6

Yup. This sounds very strange to me. marybourg Oct 2020 #28

I'm not assuming the worst Renew Deal Oct 2020 #29

Dems and NPAs - that's what I said mcar Oct 2020 #38

No way I can handle calling these people if they're targeting the same group with phone banking Native Oct 2020 #58

If this keeps up, I'll go to some of the other text banking options mcar Oct 2020 #59

Bad decision on their part. If team gets demoralized that marybourg Oct 2020 #60

That's a good reply mcar Oct 2020 #55

Sounds like they gave you the prospect list, and not the hot list. Baitball Blogger Oct 2020 #18

I assume that you did not get 540 texts back? MaryMagdaline Oct 2020 #19

We don't get independents and those we text can't text us back. They text to a number which is the Demsrule86 Oct 2020 #22
