After months of campaigning, Election Day is just moments away, and volunteers from both political campaigns put in one final effort to help their candidates win.
“It’s all about mobilization now. We’re not focusing on having conversations with people, convincing them one way or another. We’re just making sure people turn out, and as you know, Erie is a very tight county and last time it was won by 1,295 votes,” said Alex Wright, Harris campaign volunteer.
“It’s basically just knocking on doors and making phone calls, just encouraging people to get out and vote. As we all know, erie county is huge. It pretty much could determine the outcome of the election, and that’s been where our focus is,” said Patrick Fuller, Trump campaign volunteer.
Volunteers from both parties said it’s all about voter turnout now, and they’re putting resources into making sure voters get to the polls.

“We just want to make sure everybody votes, you can’t be complacent. You can’t say, ‘We have it in the bag,’ because the polls don’t mean anything, the betting doesn’t mean anything, the signs don’t mean anything,” said Alan Woolslare, Trump campaign volunteer.
