VoteAmerica is ready to engage at least 5 million college students with a comprehensive voter registration, vote by mail, and get-out-the-vote campaign that is scalable, cost-effective, and potentially game-changing. In the past we have piloted, tested, and optimized programs at over 700 colleges, and we've got it down to a science. This document outlines our work to identify the most strategically important campuses in this cycle, and the media we'll use to target them.

Congressional District competitiveness rankingsThis is the document that VoteAmerica uses to track competitiveness, sorted by Congressional District. It takes into account races up and down the ballot, from the presidential race to state legislative campaigns. We use this to identify the most congressional districts in America. Then we identify the schools in those districts. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dNEcA9pMZ5xGbN9h-NKxSazK-l_IiTsqH0W1L4BJoTY/edit#gid=2056464686
