Maine | GOTV on Campus

Here at Colby College the GOTV effort is in a super-excited state. The socialist group League of Pissed Off Voters has taken to writing “Vote Kerry or Die” on people’s doors, sometimes in permanent marker. Someone else has taken to placing “Bush Fear Factor” pamplets on everyone’s door handles. There are numerous groups driving students to the polls (I expect to see both Bush-Cheney and Kerry-Edwards vehicles driving supporters to the polls all day) and according to the town clerk, plus mailroom estimates about absentee ballots projections are that 95% of the eligable campus will be voting in this election.

If this is consistent with other College Campuses in Maine then they will Campus GOTV efforts will have a major effort here in Maine.
