Where do you canvass.
I have gotten a couple of neighbors to vote but my real success was to get my younger (sure dad, OK) to actually vote this year.
I had to pull out all the stops. My wife is Thai and one of the things that I have learned over the 36 years is that if a Thai mother is worried about her children she will go on a 20 minute rant to the child detailing 15 things that must be done to overcome the perceived threat. During this time their hearing is completely disabled and the son or daughter has to patiently listen to a whole list of precautions that include some common sense items, going to the temple to make merit, things that the grandmother told her and thanks to the internet a half dozen completely nonsensical strategies from the internet.
I told my daughter that if she didn't register and vote that I would tell my wife some outlandish story and then she would have to suffer the unrelenting barrage of phone calls from her worried mother.
Started out with rats invading apartments during the flooding (South Carolina)
Alligators were leaving the swamps and taking out kittens and small children because the water was so polluted from the hurricane.
A bat with rabies bit her neighbor across the street.
Finally when I told her that the water was compromised and they had to boil all the bathing water to avoid skin lesions my daughter gave up.
The thing was that once she realized that she could register for a mail in ballot she got voted and mailed it in the same day she got it and loved it.
If we had mail in ballots for everyone the Republican Party would be a small regional anecdote.
