It occurs go me that, cell phone technology being what it is, there is no reason why [View all]

volunteers located ANYWHERE can't participate in phone-banking anywhere else. Those of us in Illinois---generally regarded as a "safe" blue state--- could call targeted voters in Ohio or Wisconsin or wherever we are needed.

Someone would need to create and distribute "bite-sized" lists of voter names, locations and phone numbers but, if this was done, I think many of us could block off an hour or so most days to help out in battleground states and swing districts.

A suggested "script" with talking points and responses to anticipated questions would also be helpful.

We have travelled to other states in the past and canvassed for President Obama. Given our age and health concerns plus the pandemic, that would be foolish this fall. But, we still want to help where it is needed.

Anyone interested?
