GOTV - September 12, 2006
60 AIM members spent the day and evening in Gaithersburg knocking on doors, giving people rides to the polls and calling registered voters in one precinct in Gaithersburg.
In AIM’s targeted precinct, voter turn-out was increased by 28% compared to the other low-voting precincts (precincts with less than 25% turn-out in the 2002 primary election) in Gaithersburg.
Fifteen minutes before the polls closed, Rosa Melara from Our Lady of Lourdes knocked on the door of an 18-year-old woman who had never voted before. AIM gave her a ride to the polls and she voted for the first time.
