I've been remiss in posting the numbers from the Vote for Change voter registration events I have been running or attending, but I caught up today by making some backdated posts. So far, I have run 14 events since May 10th, at which we registered a total of 403 people.
If it's not been clear already, one of the strategic pillars of the Obama campaign is to register as many new voters as possible, for two reasons: First, obviously, more votes for Obama, and second, to drive the media narrative about him being a game-changer, producing the tidal wave of support from those who hadn't participated in the electoral process before.
Just for informational purposes, about 7,260,000 people are registered to vote in Pennsylvania, of which about 4.1 million are Democrats. Total adult population of Pennsylvania is about 9.6 million, which leaves 2.3 million unregistered people.
My new personal goal is register 1 million of them by the deadline of October 6th.
