The early voting dynamic is also affecting both parties’ get-out-the-vote operations.
“It creates the need for campaigns to really think about that GOTV weekend more like GOTV month,” Tori Taylor, co-executive director of Swing Left, a grassroots Democratic group, said in a recent interview.
And it’s a challenge particularly facing left-leaning groups, since Democratic voters may be more inclined to cast their ballots early. The Washington Post poll showed a slim majority of GOP voters surveyed preferred to vote on Election Day, while 70 percent of Democratic voters wanted to cast their ballots before Nov. 3.
Swing Left is teaming up with nearly 30 progressive groups to mobilize volunteers to call, text and write letters to voters. In 2018, the effort was called the Last Weekend, a final turnout push in the final days before Election Day. But this year, they’re calling the effort Last Weekends, mobilizing volunteers over the three weekends leading up to Nov. 3, due to the expected increase in voters who want to cast their ballots early.
Priorities USA is shifting some of its resources to mobilizing turnout, including its first-ever effort focused on voting by mail, Cecil told reporters in a briefing earlier this month.
