"Anyone out there who is undecided." In 2020, more than 77 million eligible voters “did not vote”—as compared to 81 million who voted for Biden and 74 million who voted for Trump. We should focus our efforts on registration and get out the vote campaigns. There is plenty of ground to be made up among the population of voters who stayed home in 2020.
FT6 has identified about 13 million who trend heavily Democratic using data mining. 60% of unregistered voters have never been asked to register! "Using our one-of-a-kind database and every outreach method possible (phone and text, postcard, email and targeted ad, and in-person too), where new Democratic voters will make the most impact – in the most flippable states and districts."
It is shameful that so many in this country do not vote. Just after the 2016 election when roughly only 50% of eligible voters voted I was driving for Uber. I picked up a group of 4 Danes visiting the US. They didn’t really care who won, but they really couldn’t understand why so few voted. They told me that in Denmark it is considered shameful not to vote. Their voter turnout is routinely 90% or more. While I’m not sure shaming people into voting is the right approach, I’m not completely against it either if it’ll get people off their asses to vote. I worry the day is coming when voting truly won’t matter as there will only be one name on the ballot.
Thank you, Ann. I find it unbelievable that so many don’t exercise their “right to vote.” I was raised to vote in EVERY election, and my mother voted her whole life in every single election until she died at 98. The mentality is that “my single vote won’t change the outcome.” Multiply that illogical thinking by millions of people, and you have millions of people who don’t vote.
Register to vote and vote!!!! Preferably Vote Blue to save our Democracy, for the democratic process of exercising your “Right to Vote” to continue on in our future.

Ann, my fantasy is to have an election where the only valid voters are those who received their right to vote via constitutional amendment...
