As Twitchy told you, Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz thinks that shaming citizens who don’t vote by telling them to delete their accounts is a good way to win support. Outfits like Club for Growth Action appear determined to make Schatz’s efforts look warm and fuzzy by comparison:

I just got it also. 972 area code. Why would I care if my neighbors see whether I voted? pic.twitter.com/OkZCMzeHu9

Your snail mail’s not immune, either:

That’s right dems I’m neverRomney and I’m voting straight republican

Ugh.
Yeah, folks love it when their unsolicited mail comes with a healthy dose of shame. *eyeroll*

Not sufficiently shamed? They’ll show up at your door, too:
They knocked on our door and asked for my wife by name and asked her if she was going to vote

Stalking and threatening to expose people who abstain from voting is definitely a winning strategy.

Last word to Iowahawk:
That message persuaded me to walk door-to-door in my neighborhood, tell my neighbors that I am not going to vote, that I'm proud of it, and if they don't like it they can kiss my ass

Is it possible to unregister to vote? If so, count me inhttps://t.co/hffWh4PEWx

Update:
Damn, from the NYT 11/4 – "OutVote & VoteWithMe, two new political apps, show you the voting histories of your friends & family. Then the apps ask you to send messages urging them to go vote on Tues." Outvote slogan:"Let's end slactivism together" (@annaz) https://t.co/OJmwntuK6q pic.twitter.com/kDLCngSN5U
