(38,187 posts)If they knock after dark, then wait a minute, then leave, no problem. If they knock and wait then knock again, I might start get irritated. If they knock and continue to linger and knock more after the first two attempts, and will not take a damn hint that I'm not comfortable opening to door to strangers after dark, I'll call the police to come see what they want, then get them the hell off my lawn.
If I find out they are representing a political party or candidate, I'm asking for their supervisor's contact info* so I can talk to their supervisor about it. I am all for GOTV efforts, but there is no reason to be damned creepy about it. There is a time and place for that type of thing and doing it after dark would be unnerving to a lot of people.
*I would do the same if they were representing any other group, i.e. salespeople, religious proselytizers, etc.
