Recenzii
Green and Gerber are pioneers in the use of experimental design to investigate voter turnout. When the first edition of Get Out the Vote came out 20 years ago, it stood alone in the field of political campaigning for both focusing on get out the vote (GOTV) and basing its recommendations on scientific evidence. The fifth edition incorporates the breadth of similar research that has been conducted in the intervening years. In particular, it includes new ways organizers use technology and new findings on relational organizing. Previously, campaigns relied heavily on generic mailings and prerecorded phone messages to increase turnout; however, the evidence indicates mass appeals are ineffective. Rather, a personal interaction with an acquaintance is much more likely to prompt voters to go to the polls. The book carefully lays out the research leading to that conclusion, and in the process it illustrates how experiments can be conducted in the field to verify the effectiveness of new GOTV techniques. This book provides essential background for students and practitioners of political campaigning. Essential. General readers through faculty; professionals.
I have adopted this book as required reading for my upper division campaigns and elections classes since it was first published in 2004. In the absence of careful monitoring by campaign management of the kind spelled out in this book, vendors of voter outreach services have every incentive to lie, exaggerate, and over promise. Reading Green and Gerber, students learn about the importance of measurement, monitoring and testing of all campaign efforts. They are also taught a more general and very sobering lesson of adult life: you can go to work every morning, thinking your efforts matter, when they really don't. And that's why careful measurement and testing are so important.
Green and Gerber have studied turnout for years. Their findings, based on dozens of controlled experiments done as part of actual campaigns, are summarized in . . . Get Out the Vote, which is bound to become a bible for politicians and activists of all stripes.
Get Out the Vote shatters conventional wisdom about GOTV.
Green and Gerber have provided a valuable resource for grassroots campaigns across the spectrum.
Green and Gerber's book represents important innovations in the study of turnout.
Get Out the Vote! is the rare book that manages to package cutting-edge social science on a keenly important topic in a completely approachable manner for all audiences. I've used this book for courses from beginning undergraduate lectures to graduate seminars. Some students are fascinated by the mechanics of campaigns and the range of different voter mobilization techniques examined. Some are struck by the inferential advantages of the field experiments that Green and Gerber champion. All appreciate the economical, non-technical presentation. And, the handful who have gone on to work on campaigns or run for office always tell me they consulted Get Out the Vote! during their races.
