In Carbon County, Pennsylvania, the Palmerton and Lehighton Area Democratic clubs are sending out applications for people to vote by mail. Neither club has the money to reach all the Democrats in their respective areas, so we are mailing to the “Super Voters.” We defined those as people who voted in the 2018 or 2019 primary elections.
Each mailer costs $.55 in postage, and then we also have the costs of printing the explanatory letters and the applications. A thousand mailers runs to $550 in postage alone. That is money raised from people who have little money to donate.
I heard that the Pennsylvania Republicans are sending applications to every Republican voter in the state. How I would love to belong to a party that has unlimited funds donated by wealthy corporations and the superrich. The Trumpists already have their “Trump 2020” signs up. Big signs, professionally made. At least they help us identify who are the idiots and hateful people in our neighborhoods.
