‘Harvesting’ data doesn’t get anybody off their rear-end and into a voting booth. This analytic frenzy is purely hype brought to the forefront by greedy computer geeks. The same geeks that convinced everybody that Y2K would be the end of computers, unless they were given trillions to stop it.
If this sort of stuff works on anybody, it would be the weak minded and typically those voters who tend to be liberal and who are more likely to engage in social computing. It’s like guiding a lemming... Just tell them there’s a rally for something and they’ll be there in 10 minutes. Tell them the election day is on Monday and they will likely be too glued to their computer to actually bother getting off their butt and voting.

I get called ‘disruptive’ when, while approaching the polling station, someone (from either side) tries to hand me some literature etc.
I - loudly enough - proclaim that if I didn’t know what I was going to do after 1 year of BS and lies would go home if I didn’t know who or what I was going to vote for.
Then, if someone with said paperwork should happen to be ‘near me’ in line will get to hear my ‘routine’ again.
Of course, when I go the majority of those there know who/what already...
(Before the fresh busloads get trucked in...<: <: <:)
I should ‘play’ dumb and ask for a sample ballot and how to fill out...see how many of the idiots ‘bite’...
