The-vote-gets-out

The phone banks are certainly at work today. My grandmother, who resides in the swing state of Wisconsin, just told me that she has stopped answering her phone because she is receiving so many calls, first encouraging her to vote and then asking her if she had already. She voted, of course, and laughingly told me that she didn’t want to hang up on a live person so she is just letting calls go to the answering machine. She said that in all of her years, she has never experienced such a concentrated get-out-the-vote atmosphere.
