I once proposed a program in CT to the manager of our now governor Ned Lamont who was running against Joe Lieberman who was a Republican supporter but running independently. I proposed all supporters of Lamont find just one person who might be open minded enough and talk to them over the summer. I find a friend who was a likely democratic voter but who probably wouldn’t vote. The manager dismissed my idea and his candidate lost. I made sure my friend voted on Election Day. I called her on that day to offer her a ride but she told me she had voted. I did my job. I proposed this in letter form to Barris campaign. Great chance of that being used. But potentially, it brings double the number to vote.
I work at an abortion clinic and have been helping young women register to vote for months now and encouraging every patient to be sure to get to the polls or vote early. Many have told me they don't keep up, or they 'know nothing' about politics. It takes about 5 minutes to explain the importance of their voice and that their vote IS their voice in protecting their freedom. Yesterday, a woman came in for a follow-up visit and took the time to thank me for encouraging her to research the facts and to vote her conscience. She said "I voted!" and hugged me and thanked me.
You're idea of each Lamont supporter finding one person open minded enough to talk to about voting is a sound one, and I believe there are many of us engaged in that practice at this time. I just hope there are enough of us to make a difference.
With the Supreme Court as the ultimate decider of anything about the upcoming election, I would argue the voting/election process is at HUGE risk. That 6 individuals could overthrow the votes of millions of people, simply because THOSE SIX don't like the outcome is hardly a supportive argument for election security. They have already demonstrated loyalty to one candidate, blocking the course of felony prosecution and judgement against him, to aid him in securing the White House. Why should the final outcome be in their demonstrably dirty, partisan hands? Of those six with a history of partisan decisions, Trump appointed 3. We saw what happened in Florida with the classified documents case--Trump's undisputable criminal intent and behavior documented by the FBI, and a Trump appointed judge who dismissed the case as a thank you gift for her unsupported, undeserved, meritless judicial appointment.
1. Thought-Provoking Narratives: Begin segments with data-driven analysis of voter concerns, focusing on tangible outcomes of policies. Present more in-depth discussions on how these policies will influence everyday American lives.
2. Compelling Use of Comparative Records: Dedicate time to comparing the track records of candidates on issues voters care about (e.g., healthcare, jobs, economy). Use side-by-side video clips of statements or actions taken while in office vs. campaign promises.
3. Comparison of Past and Present Leadership: Show the journey of specific issues from the past administration to the present, including how power dynamics (president, vice president, Congress) have evolved and how candidates plan to address these shifts.
4. Out-of-the-Box Segments on Voter Journeys: Include voter testimonials or real-life case studies from constituents across different states, tracking how specific policies have impacted their lives over the years. This humanizes the political journey and makes the stakes clearer.
5. Curiosity-Inducing Storytelling: Utilize curiosity-driven storytelling by posing questions to voters such as, “What would this policy look like in your city/state?” or “How would this solution change your healthcare, education, or local economy?”

This is weird. My comment doubled on me and now I can’t correct the misspelling of Harris.
