We just hit a major milestone, Jack: Daily Kos volunteers have adopted more than one million voters as part of our partnership with Vote Forward.
What does that mean? Let me explain:
-
Studies show that voters who receive simple, handwritten messages reminding them to vote are 1-3% more likely to vote than those who don't.
-
Our friends at Vote Forward have identified 10 million swing state voters who lean Democratic, but who don't vote in every election. If all of the letters can be written and sent, that could mean up to 100,000 to 300,000 extra votes for Joe Biden in swing states--more than enough to swing the election.
-
Daily Kos has been working hard to recruit volunteers to write letters, with great success. Over 40,000 Daily Kos volunteers have participated in 2020 so far, and last week they adopted their one millionth voter!
Recruiting volunteers for campaigns like this one costs Daily Kos real money, and contributions from readers like you are our biggest source of income. This means we can only take this program as far as grassroots donors take us. Please chip in $5 right now to help Daily Kos recruit enough volunteers to adopt another million infrequent, but Democratic, voters in swing states who need an extra "nudge" to cast a ballot this year.
In solidarity,
Chris Bowers, Daily Kos
