I feel like the smart move would likely to simply ignore "votes every time" voters altogether in your GOTV regardless of whether you have proof they voted or not. If your time/money is that valuable then using it even just to check in on a guy like me who has voted in every primary/general since I moved back to MD seems like a waste.

It's been a while since I've done direct canvassing with access to VAN and such but when we would get back at 6 or 7 PM we would go over Board of Elections data to confirm early votes and strike the early voters from call/walk lists.

I think the smarter move is for the campaigns to contact the "votes every time" voters early, ask them to please encourage their family and friends and neighbors and acquaintances to vote тАУ and to consider volunteering for additional GOTV efforts.

That's what they do. The script for early canvassing asks strongly supporting respondents whether they would be willing to volunteer.

On the postcards IтАЩve been writing to NC and MI, IтАЩve added the line: "Please encourage your friends and family to vote."

Yeah generally that is question #2 if they identify as a strong Harris supporter.

This is bad campaigning tactics; people liked to be asked for their vote; you are a supervoter and will vote, but campaigns need to ask you
