Believe it or not, this is an election related issue. Not necessarily in terms of our guy winning a vote or losing a vote - but guess what - for GOTV, it damn well is.

You better be ready to be pissed off about this stuff and legitimately sympathetic. Because when someone asks you why the fuck they should vote, this is often part of the subtext behind their question.

And for those of us who actually *do* pound the pavement on Election Day, we know we face potential voters who need a convincing push all the time.
