A Template To Get The Vote Out

Polls are interesting but if people don't vote they don't mean anything.  The Democrats need a much greater turnout than the Republicans because of Gerrymandering and the relative greater power of the rural areas. Unfortunately, the largest voting group are the Millennials but they also are the least apt to vote.  Tom Steyer, the Billionaire philantropist, has a strategy that I think may work for the 2018 mid-term election:

" - - - efforts will focus on person-to-person contact, voter registration, and a get-out-the-vote ground game. For instance, it is training teams to mobilize young voters on more than two hundred college campuses and across seven states using data-driven field strategies, digital tools, and creative tactics. As part of that effort, the group also will continue its Climate Organizing Fellowship Program, which aims to develop climate leaders eager to push for climate action and clean energy solutions through November and beyond.

"'Millennials are the biggest cohort in this election cycle,' Steyer told the Times. 'When they do engage, it can make a difference in these states. This is about turnout and letting millennials' voices be heard.'"   (https://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/nextgen-climate-to-spend-25-million-on-get-out-the-vote-efforts)
