Paul Crider: There must be. I know there are text-banking opportunities. That's what all those annoying text messages from strange numbers you immediately delete are. I worry that phone-banking will work less well as we're trained ourselves against strange phone calls. But we should do every method possible!

Write postcards. Give money to swing state campaigns. www.turnoutpac.org/postcards-faq/

Knocking on doors is the best, but that's pretty useless for people who live in solid blue states, unless we're able and willing to leave the state for such campaigns. But our financial contributions, especially this early in the campaign, help to open and staff campaign offices.

Are there phone-banking opportunities?

I’ve done text- and phone-banking, and I find the phone campaigns to be extremely low yield. Actually reaching a person is vanishly rare, so most of the time you feel like you’re just cleaning up a list. Texting has a lot of opt outs & wrong numbers, but it goes faster and has a ~10% response rate.

I signed up to write postcards but I am well aware that my penmanship is execrable, so it's going to be slow going.
