A lesson learned from my campaign

Ran for city council.  794 people voted for me, cool!  November 3rd vote I was behind by 40 votes.  Lost by 300 votes because of absentee ballots.  Only 13.3% of 16700 registered voters bothered with the off year election.  Sooooo... 

You must reach out with your mailed flier to absentee voters on the day they are mailed their ballots.  The Supervisor of Elections will provide a mailing list and will even print the mailing labels for free, if you ask.   So write your mailing card and have them printed and ready to go that day.  Every few days new absentee voter requests are sent to you, and you can mail to them too.  There, I just told you how to with 1/4 of the vote.
