Hey, political campaigns! There's this thing called behavioral psychology. You should check it out! Turns out people are more willing to act when their actions fit into some kind of meaningful context. Crazy, huh?
Anyway...
You! Voter! Want to know how to double, triple, or even quadruple the power of your vote? It's easy: vote early! Either request a mail-in absentee ballot from your local board of elections, or vote during "Early Vote" at one of your county's designated polling sites. Do one of those two things, and do them as soon as you possibly can, and here's why....
The national Democratic Party, the NC Democratic Party, your county Democratic Party, and most campaigns have access to a database called Votebuilder. Anything you do that is election-related, that data is entered into Votebuilder. When you request an absentee ballot; when you return your completed ballot to the board of elections; and when you vote during early vote - all of that data goes into Votebuilder. And usually all of that information is entered the following day, if not faster.
What does that have to do with doubling and tripling your vote? Simple. Campaigns are going to spend billions of dollars this year trying to accomplish one thing: get you to the polls. When you vote early, your name is flagged in the database and no more effort is made convincing you to vote. That makes more resources available for the remaining pool of voters, folks who might need a little more of a nudge.
Want to turn YOUR vote into MORE votes? Vote early, and vote often!
