Revving up to March 2020
With the constitutional amendment elections in Texas in the rear view mirror, and campaigns hosting kickoffs, its time to rev up for transporting voters to the polls for March 2020 primaries. Really, you might say? Yes, I would say and here is why?
Texas wont flip in 2020 unless we get more democratic voters to the polls. In Texas, we have seen that traditional campaign methods don’t really work all the time. Spending more on the ask to vote and not enough time or investment in actually getting the voters to the polls.
Have you ever gotten more than one 4 color flyer from your dem candidate? Have you ever been to meet your candidate only to find all the same people show up? If so, then you know its a closed, small group that is active in campaigns. And with a few exceptions, we continue to loose in Texas. Accepting small gains and giant wins.
At Rideshare2Vote we believe getting voters to the polls to actually cast ballots is the most effective way to get elected. SO what you say, we will do that a couple of weeks before early voting. Our data shows that the earlier you introduce a transportation option into your campaign the higher the turnout on election days.
If you have announced your candidacy and you don’t have a budget or plan to find your voters who will vote when you offer them a ride, then you risk losing. And not just losing your election, but losing the American value that candidates should help assure every American has the right to cast their ballot and the best candidate will win. Help us support democracy in your campaign. Include our service now while you are starting your ID process, solidify voters by offering easy on demand transport for them and then let Rideshare2Vote take the reigns and make your campaigns final contact to schedule and transport them to vote. You wont only add to your winning now but build our democracy for future elections as well.
