Deep into an investigation into the unorthodox methods the Republican National Committee is sanctioning to get out conservative voters for Donald Trump in November, newly minted organizers at the state level are learning the ropes on the fly and brainstorming what could turn out to be controversial methods of voter outreach.
According to a report from the Washington Post's Isaac Arnsdorf and Josh Dawsey, the RNC under Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump and other members of his inner circle, have chosen to outsource the party's get-out-the-vote efforts to conservative organizations as a method to save money to be used elsewhere.
Those groups, including America First Works, America PAC and Turning Point Action, have been working to get up to speed in states where there is no Trump campaign headquarters.
As the report notes, volunteers who are new to selling on-the-fence voters on the GOP's candidates are getting fast-tracked coaching with less than 100 days before the November election.
According to the Post report, at a Waukesha, Wisconsin Turning Point Action office, "about three dozen newly hired full-time community organizers got together with poster boards and scented markers to brainstorm techniques to meet their targeted neighbors."
That in turn led to a suggestion from Turning Point's Tyler Bowyer, "... they should research their marks and start reaching out through Facebook groups, community events, or neighborly gestures such as recommending plumbers or harp teachers. They could even arrange seemingly chance encounters on coffee runs or dog walks."
The Post reports one attendee whispered, "Some of these things sound like stalking,” to which another joked, "Professional stalkers."
The report notes that a slide that was part of Bowyer's presentation bluntly stated: "BE NORMAL. BE NORMAL. BE NORMAL.”
