Trump's campaign is running into a major get-out-the-vote complication: Guardian reporter

According to the Guardian's Hugo Lowell, Donald Trump's chances of winning the election in November is being hampered by an understaffed get-out-the-vote effort in must-win states that likely can't be remedied at such a late date.Speaking with MSNBC host Alex Witt, the Guardian reporter noted the massive disparity of paid Trump employees versus Vice President Kamala Harris staffers on the ground in the pivotal state of Pennsylvania because the former president's campaign decided to outsource contacting potential voters,Adding to the problem is that it is difficult to find people who will now take what is in essence a job that will last less than 2 months.ALSO READ: Something broke Trump’s brain"The Trump campaign has outsourced its entire ground operation, effectively, to a number of Super PAC's in battleground states, which means that the Trump campaign's formal presence is really, really small," he reported."For instance, take Pennsylvania: the Trump campaign wouldn't release numbers, because again, when they are very proud of the numbers they post about them, and the only thing we could get out of the Trump campaign was this was the first time ever we have seen that."Pointing out that Trump's people, have stated they have "more than 50 people in Pennsylvania," the Guardian reporter added for context, "That is in stark comparison to the RNC's projected goals for this cycle, which was to have 88 to 90 staffers.""And it is an even starker difference, compared to what the Harris campaign has in Pennsylvania, because they have 375 paid staffers — 375 is more than 50," he joked. "It is not a very good comparison.

"Which means two things. Number one, all of the door knockers and canvassers have very limited voter contacts. We know from previous cycles, that it often takes multiple, repeated visits to voters to return a ballot — that is number one. Second of all, the really good people are gone; you can't find them anymore. No one really wants to take a two-month job."Watch below or at the link. - YouTube youtu.be
