Election 2012

The Shocking Incompetence of the Republican GOTV Effort

Some of this post is wonky but it illustrates how the Republicans completely screwed the pooch on their get-out-the-vote effort. The upshot:

So, the end result was that 30,000+ of the most active and fired-up volunteers were wandering around confused and frustrated when they could have been doing anything else to help. Like driving people to the polls, phone-banking, walking door-to-door, etc. We lost by fairly small margins in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Colorado. If this had worked could it have closed the gap? I sure hope not for my sanity's sake.

Keep going, Republicans. You're doing great!
