The Lying Game

People talk about the vaunted GOP GOTV game. It comes down to stuff like this:

"In Michigan they are looking for snowmobile owners and letting them know that Democrats want to close down their trails," said John Fortier, a political scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

I like how that's considered a "great strategy" - lying to low-information niche voters. Democrats don't want to close down snowmobile trails. It's item number 26,204 on any list, and not even true once you get that far down it.

I mean, in that case, I think Republicans want to shut down YouTube. Should we all make videos to that effect?

Incidentally, according to this national field report, Democrats are making more voter contacts than Republicans. And based on my phonebanking experiences, Democrats are very excited to go out and vote.
