The Science of How To Get Out The Vote

As the 2024 fall elections in the United States enters its final phase, precious few undecided voters remain, and the window for submitting absentee ballots closes tomorrow.  Now, the name of the campaign game is making sure voters who have not already cast their ballots absentee show up on election day.

In this campaign season, Democrats and Republicans are taking very different approaches to making sure their voters go to the polls.  Republicans largely rely on paid Political Action Committees to handle door-to-door canvassing, while volunteers are the ones knocking on doors for Democrats.

So, what makes up a good “ground game” when it comes to turning out voters?  Kai Brito, Treasurer of the College Democrats of Madison College and Derek Wallace, President of AFSCME Local 720, spoke with Monday Eight o’Clock Buzz host Brian Standing to talk about strategies for getting out the vote.
