    I did phone banking for Obama and it was… interesting. We’re a vote by mail state and they had us calling the reddest part of the state after the mailing deadline to remind people “Hey, it’s too late to mail your ballot, if you still want to vote, we can tell you where your local drop off location is.”

    People were REALLY angry! Legally, we had to open with “I’m calling on behalf of the Barack Obama campaign…”

    “I AINT VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA!”

    “That’s fine, that’s not why I’m calling. It looks like you haven’t turned in your ballot yet and we just wanted to remind you, if you still want to vote, it’s too late to mail it. Do you need a list of ballot drop off locations?”

    “Oh.”
