A sane response to the Trump panic from Josh Marshall at TPM: The GOP Get Out The Vote efforts got bogged down in internal rivalry between PACs.
Quote: “It’s the residue of Kirk’s boastful pitch to take over Republican ground operations, a pitch that fell apart because of a mix of fundraising shortfalls, insufficient organizational and managerial capacity and more. Musk came in to fill the breach because he has limitless money. But they’ve tried to do it almost entirely with contractors and paid doorknockers, a degree of over-reliance on non-volunteers which violates a lot of basic rules about how this is done.”
