Why would they do it earlier when no one was voting?  Just a waste of money then.

This. If early voting hasn't started yet, then there's not much use in driving people to the polls Tongue

It does seem a bit late to be working on voter registration drives.... this should have been kicking in back in August after the convention bounce, with a renewed drive starting after Labor Day.

Instead complacency ruled through most of August from the campaign, while Trump consolidated the Republican base and narrowed the gap to only a narrow Clinton lead.

Better late than never, though I don't see this being a deciding factor in a state like Iowa, unless Iowa is decided by a razor-thin margin. I guess every bit helps.

Yeah--- don't see it being a factor in Iowa of all places this year, but one might imagine CO/NV/NC/FL in particular would have been good targets to start early in for voter registration.

Maybe this was going on behind the scenes before, and wasn't widely reported at the time, but the Clinton campaign did have a much better and sophisticated ground game in those four states for several months, and Latino voter registration should surely have been a prime goal of those state teams.

Not exactly sure what Clinton is doing, but major outside groups invested heavily in minority/Hispanic outreach this year. Immigrant Voters Win PAC has committed, I believe, around 15 million dollars to registering voters in CO/NV/FL. The DA have also committed pretty heavily (apparently) to Hispanic GOTV, along with the 55+ million labor/Steyer pac For Our Future PAC. Then groups such as Everybody Votes, Every Citizen Counts has big money going towards GOTV/voter access themselves. We'll have to wait to see in Oct. how much of the tens of millions committed actually materialized, but much was coming from the likes of Soros and Steyer, so I'm sure things are working smoothly now. Traditional groups like Mi Familia Vota lost out on funding though because liberal donors apparently see them as ineffective and do not like the non-partisan aspect of their operations, but similar, if not more funding is going elsewhere.

Also, Anti-Trump Republican commits big bucks for FL Hispanic registration:

http://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2016/09/top-florida-republican-donor-to-pump-2-million-for-hispanic-voter-registration-105631

All in all, there seems to be huge money going into GOTV this year. Steyer himself went from mass ad spending to mass GOTV efforts, upwards of 50+ million dollars.

Thanks Virginia--- appreciate your posting this!

I remembered a bunch of noise months back about Latino voter registration outreach, so it does sound like there was a significant third party effort to register voters, and there was certainly some success in that regards in places like California during the primary season, Osceola County FL (Puerto Ricans), and Nevada.

So reviewing the article again, it looks like the Clinton campaign is now working to capitalize on the fruits of the voter registration drive, and get last minute Latino unregistered voters prior to final registration deadlines.

So really, two different activities going on within this particular push.... bank early votes, and try to add last minute registration totals before the final endgame.

Meanwhile, the much vaunted Clinton data-analytical team, is already hard at work to identify and micro-target certain groups that have lower rates of voter participation than others.

As you know all too perfectly well, in the US churches are also social clubs. Nobody is talking "faith in God" here - just "faith in vote".

Though, I must add, for over half a century Mexican opposition was sustained, mainly, by the popular local Catholic belief that God likes free elections.  Not a bad faith to have, I should say.

Having "faith in our votes" isn't something people normally say, it doesn't even make any have any meaning as a phrase.  It's pretty obvious they are trying to play on people's religious loyalites by using that word.

Not if you come from a Mexican context. I mean, President Ruiz Cortinez used to call opposition supporters "los místicos de voto"("the vote mystics" in a direct translation - though, like in English, it also sounds quite similar to "devote mystics"). And he was right: those people believed, pretty much literally, that God loved voting.

Well, yep. If he comes to power, this is the most likely outcome of the next 4 years.

A key thing to remember is that nuclear war doesn't mean the immediate end of the world: most people will actually survive the initial nuclear strike and live a life of suffering and slowly be killed off by disease as society unravels in which the living will envy the dead:

I wouldn't worry about voter registration efforts or the lack thereof: the rate of Latino voter registration over the past year has been anywhere from 20-30% higher than it was four years ago; a pretty universal phenomenon from community to community, at least in communities where Latinos are prevalent. Thanks, Trump. Now all that needs to be done is to mobilize them.
