Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])

“The fact that Biden and Trump are taking such radically different approaches to person-to-person voter outreach may be something of a wild card in the election.

Trump’s team sees its field program, which has been up and running in several states for months, as a major advantage. Biden’s campaign hired senior aides in some swing states, including Pennsylvania, as late as July.

Democrats, on the other hand, say that virtual organizing helped Jill Karofsky win a state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin earlier this year. Progressive insurgents around the country have also successfully built online volunteer operations recently.”
