In fact, if I were running the campaign I would send paid staffers into OH to make sure that every single college student, every single person from poor neighborhoods in Cleveland and Akron and Toledo and Columbus and even Cincinatti . . . had id, was registered and knew where to go to vote. And I would send them back when early voting starts to get the voting done early.
In Florida, I would go door to door conducting massive voter registrations in Dem. neighborhoods. I would tell people that they had been purged from the voting rolls and who had purged them and why they purged them. I would get them registered and I would get phone numbers, emails and other contact info and I would go back and GOTV.
In short, I would mobilize the most massive ground game ever seen in politics and I would make sure that every single person I spoke with knew that someone was trying to keep them and people like them from voting.
