Election 2012

The Shocking Incompetence of the Republican GOTV Effort

Written by Bob Cesca

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!
