Thread: Working the phone banks

For one of our local candidates.....Apparently we get the phone numbers from the local registrar of voters. As i was making calls i came across people who were NOT citizens...YET...they were on the registrar....How does this happen?
Its a very scary wake up call !

Only citizens are allowed to vote in FEDERAL ELECTIONS.

How did you determine that the people you spoke with were indeed the people on your list and not citizens?

How did i determine that they were indeed the people on the list? When i made the calls i asked for them by name...the names were on the telephone screen....so when i'd call....i'd ask to speak to them by name....And in conversation i'd tell them what candidate i was volunteering for and if they'd heard of them and give them my little speel....and i had at least 2 come straight out and tell me that weren't citizens. Blew me away!I want to know how they got on that list?

during the last presidential election, my daughter worked one of the boothes in SF that was registering people to vote....They did NOT have to provide an ID to register to vote. It wasn't required.
