Its not just here on GlockTalk. I live in Georgia and based on my zip code have been getting bombarded by texts from various left wing groups offering to "help" me vote by doing everything but fill out the absentee ballot and sign it for me. I might be getting calls too but don't answer my phone unless I recognize the number. I get snail mail from the RNC and other conservative groups and emails from the NRA but based on what I am seeing the money and enthusiasm is on the side of the soft on crime, anti-gun, the government can never spend enough money Democrats. Bth sides seem to have infinite money for TV ads.
The Democrats have a much better ground game. The "Young black male voter project" is convinced I am a young, black, Democrat voting male named Micheal (wrong on 4 out of 5 counts) and will not stop sending texts until whoever used my number gets an absentee ballot. Replying STOP does nothing and the texts come from different numbers every time so blocking them does no good. They either have a lot of volunteers using their personal phones or are spoofing the return number the way scammers do. I suspect the latter. I am not sure where getting out the vote crosses over into voter coercion and intimidation but I bet a lot of people are voting just to make all the damn texts stop. Voting is something that should be taken seriously, not something people do to quit getting nagged and treat voting as seriously as they would a Facebook poll for ranking puppies in order of cuteness. They don't know anything about the issues except what they read on social media, don't really care but this year might be voting anyways.
It used to be Republicans always won big in runoffs because so many Democrats didn't care enough to to take 30 minutes out of their day to vote. They still don't but the bar for voting is now so low they probably will anyways. There were a lot of people that were anti-Trump voters that will sit the runoff out. But there pro-Trump voters that are going to do the same. The lack of enthusiasm and defeated attitude of Republicans here is depressing. We are acting like the runoff is already lost and are just going through the motions and that can be a self fulfilling prophecy.
