THE GROUND GAME

EVERY DOOR. EVERY VOTE.

Digital gets attention. Doors get votes. We build the field operation that turns supporter lists into election-day margins.

DOOR-TO-DOOR CANVASSING

Systematic precinct-level canvassing with trained volunteers, targeted walk lists, GPS-tracked routes, and real-time data collection at every door.

VOTER IDENTIFICATION

Multi-pass voter ID programs that classify supporters, opponents, and persuadables. Know exactly who to chase, who to persuade, and who to skip.

PHONE & TEXT PROGRAMS

High-volume phone banking, peer-to-peer texting, and automated SMS that extend your reach beyond what doors alone can cover. 98% open rates.

VOLUNTEER OPERATIONS

Recruitment pipelines, training programs, shift scheduling, team captains, and retention systems that build an army, not a list of names.

ELECTION DAY GOTV

Precinct captains, poll watchers, ride-to-polls, chase lists, and real-time turnout tracking. The final 72 hours that decide everything.

DATA & REPORTING

Real-time dashboards tracking doors knocked, voter IDs, commit-to-vote rates, and progress toward your win number. No guessing, just math.

THE DIFFERENCE

MOST CAMPAIGNS DON’T HAVE
A GROUND GAME. THEY HAVE A CLIPBOARD.

Sending volunteers out without infrastructure is voter malpractice.

TYPICAL FIELD OPERATION

Print a walk list from VoteBuilder and hand it to an untrained volunteer

No data entry. Knocked doors disappear into a clipboard

Same script for every voter regardless of persuasion score

Volunteer burnout by week three, no retention system

Election day is chaos, no chase list, no precinct captains

THE MATH

ELECTIONS ARE WON
AT THE DOOR.

No amount of TV ads, mailers, or yard signs replaces a human being standing on a voter’s porch. The data is unambiguous.

8–10%

Turnout increase from a single quality door knock, no other tactic comes close

$14

Cost per acquired vote via canvassing vs. $50–100+ for broadcast TV

Contacts needed to move an undecided voter. One knock isn’t enough

THE LONG DRIVE GROUP

THREE DIVISIONS.
ONE STANDARD.

Ground game doesn’t operate in isolation. Your field data feeds your digital targeting. Your digital ads warm up doors before volunteers knock. Long Drive integrates everything.
