OK, let's go to the far far reaches of fantasy-land and presume I'm a run of the mill republican voter. I've decided I'm not too enthusiastic about rMoney, and to hell with voting this year. So, they've got some fancy smancy app on their iphone or whatever that tells some poll worker I haven't voted yet. Is a phone call while I'm sitting down eating dinner going to get me off my sofa and to the polling place so I can stand in line and vote for a candidate I'm not really enthusiastic about? I DON'T THINK SO.

They're barking up the wrong tree blaming their failure on this failed app.
