Intrigued to read this.. I just canvassed using ( dutifully) as one does MiniVAN. Agree with you. Thank you for this. There’s gotta be a better way

Since the 2016 campaigns, the data has worsened, not getting out the right voters, getting out the wrong voters and demoralizing volunteers

I can compare recent use of VAN with previous databases that I’ve used over my four decades plus of politics. Van is losing us votes. I know from phone calling doorknocking and mailing. The VAN is so bad that people are door knocking on doors that with 7-year-old data, helping Republicans get out to vote because misidentification party and finally VAN does nothing to help get out no parties. Unfortunately getting a divorce from Van seems pretty complicated. Is it possible that states that use VAN are the ones that have been getting redder?
