While they may not be going door-to-door, I understand Charlie Kirk is organizing young men on college campuses very effectively. That's like knocking on many doors at once, plus perhaps establishing activist groups in the process. Worth keeping an eye on. The gender gap is significant.

Someone’s trolls - Trump’s? Russia’s? Elon’s? - know that outsourcing the field operation is a problem. They’ve been inundating the posts re no door knocking, etc with responses trying to convince someone that it isn’t a problem.

It's a problem. I’m glad you filled us in on even more background.

In-person canvassing is really tough in Florida or at least South Florida where it's too hot for those of us who are older volunteers. I did it a lot when I was in my 40s and it was a very rewarding experience and the weather wasn't as hot. Now the heat is brutal and I'm in my seventies. It's hard to get people to go door to door. I keep urging people to take their kids. Any data on postcarding? People are really willing to postcard.

Thanks so much!!

Even though you and Simon Rosenberg constantly remind me to “ worry less and do more” , the recent NY Times poll has EVERYONE depressed again … even though I’m pretty sure new voter registrants haven’t been included in the LV models —yet — ( & certainly not the registered voter models).

And if one more (male) pundit says “ Dobbs is #9 on the important list” I know women are not just engaged - they’re enraged!!

Thanks!
