Thanks for this report. I had heard Romney was “targeting low propensity voters” but was unsure of the mechanics of how that is done.
Here’s what I don’t understand about registration numbers. Every two years, we get fantastic numbers of people registering to vote. If I were to go back eight or twelve years and added them up, it would be in the tens of millions.
Where are these people coming from? Do that many people move to different districts every year? I can’t imagine we are in an age where so many people are so disconnected from public life that they don’t ever go to a library, a DMV or even a welfare office once in a while? I even remember seeing flyers for voter registration in the hospital ER and at the train stations they even do it in schools.
I can see a few hundred thousand to a million or so people want nothing to do with the world and live isolated or with limited contact, but that is a small minority. Every two years, we have these registration numbers that almost defy reality.
