This is one of the really intriguing questions of the next 9 days - how do campaigns adapt to a historically unprecedented level of really early turnout? https://twitter.com/tbonier/status/1320431044240252929">https://twitter.com/tbonier/s...
In several of the biggest swing states more than half of the total vote, and well over half of the total Dem vote, will be already in the bag with a week to go. What’s the best final stretch strategy for each party in such a never before seen environment?
Imagine you’re the Dems and have a turnout boosting message which will bring in two Dem final week votes for every one Rep vote. Normally a no-brainer but if the yet to vote electorate is 70% republican? It isn’t.
Conversely if you’re the GOP and you’re considering negative advertising which depresses voter enthusiasm that’s a riskier strategy when most of those still to vote are your base (& going negative may be more tempting for Dems for the same reason)
