2020 Partisan Impact

With our democracy on the line,
124 partners trusted vote tripling tactics

Together, we sparked more than 7,000,000 friend-to-friend voting reminders

 

“Vote tripling was the most effective program that MoveOn ran in 2020.”

— Rahna Epting, Executive Director, MoveOn

 

“In razor-thin margin states like Wisconsin, integrating vote tripling into our field operation made a critical difference in 2020, and we’re excited to keep working with the brilliant folks at VoteTripling.org for years to come.”

— Ben Wikler, Chair, Democratic Party of Wisconsin

 
 
Vote tripling tactics have been implemented in partnership with organizations, including MoveOn, Sunrise Movement, Equality Federation, Women's March, Activate America, and LCV Victory Fund.
 
 

The Biden campaign vote tripled

The Biden-Harris campaign asked its supporters to vote triple at polling places, over email, during national webinars, and in its relational organizing app.

Our programs sparked an estimated 7M friend-to-friend voting reminders

One of the programs we ran in 2020, Polling Place Vote Tripling (PPVT), is a simple and RCT-proven tactic: volunteers stand outside of polling places and ask recent voters to text three friends reminders to vote. 

With our partners, we ran 79,293 hours (that’s over 9 years!) of polling place vote tripling programs. These programs generated 1,000,000 friend-to-friend reminders. For context, the Biden campaign’s relational app (“Vote Joe”) generated 200,000 such reminders.

 

Vote Rev’s tactics helped flip the U.S. Senate in the Georgia runoffs

On January 5th, 2021, Georgia voters participated in runoff elections to choose both of their senators. Vote Rev ran direct voter contact programs and trained 19 partners in the Georgia Senate runoff. Together, we produced more than 900,000 friend-to-friend reminders in a few weeks.

“We ran vote tripling programs across the state as a core part of our GOTV strategy.”
Emily Dean-McKinney, Get Out the Vote Director - Georgia Senate Runoff, Democratic Party of Georgia

Thanks to our donors, partners, allies, friends, and families who supported us in this work!

We are also grateful to the many people who came before us who led the way in mobilizing their communities to vote. Many of our nation’s most important Movements—including Farm Workers, Labor, Civil Rights, and Racial Justice—have used relational tactics, and we are honored to build upon their important and pioneering work.
