look at this mailer. >> mailer liszs a series of names and shows whether or not they voted with a questionrk. the so-called shaming mailers were sent by a conservative group called the opportunity alliance pack in a move presumably designed to maximize republican turnout. one recipient told them the only thing they had in common is that they were friends on facebook, which, understandably, seemed creepy to her. there are three important things to know. first, they're completely legal. where or not you vote is a matter of public record, assessable to anyone. the second thing is that this isn't just happening in alaska. it's being used on both sides. the north carolina democratic party has sent out mailers noting that voting records are public and that the party is short of voting. but it's suggesting that level may not last forever. here's the third thing about those types of mailers. they work. evidence suggests they're one of the most effect ef ways to turn people out for an election, as long as they don't make people too freaked out to vote. their're based on experimentation by political

that means ads in mailers. they want to hear from sources they trust.ghbors and family. it's important to post an facebook that you're going to vote. when people learn from people they love who understand what their lives are like that voting especial lie in the midterms matters a lorkts that really helps drive people up. i think the other thing we need to consider is that the issues are right for democrats this year. really across the board. the electorate responds to the idea we need to raise minimum wage and gender discrimination in pay, access to health care. we're fighting a good issue battle right now. you can see from the ads republicans have chosen to close on where they are suggesting they are in favor of equal pay and may be kind of pro choice. they aren't comfortable with their messaging. the louder we can spread our message and the more people we can get to the polls, the better progressives will do tomorrow. >> let me ask this word of mouth question. is there a way to scale that? to systematically scale word of mouth to get people to turn o

what is gross about this mailer is the font and the citing of statute. you can send out a total hit job as alison lundergan grimes and it wouldn't raise an eyebrow. >> it cited a statute about tampering with the mail that cited six months in prison that is particularly terrifying and the fact it's in the context that grimes needs african-american voters to win. it's already an issue that so many african-american votes are counted out by these felon disenfranchisement laws which she opposes. it creates an environment of fear. >> is the law with them on this? >> i talked to one law expert so far and she thinks the judges are highly reluctant to give temporary restraining orders because they restrict speech. she thinks they're probably not on their side, but what the lawsuit does do is show they're taking it seriously and amplify the issue of voter suppression. >> what do you say to that inthe first amendment is there for a reason. people get ugly in campaigns. is this really a legal matter? or is this just something worthy of condemnation or ridicule or, y
