Focus on get-out-the-vote drives on college campuses. Help colleges and universities provide information on registration, polling places, and arranging for rides/shuttles to polling places from dorms or student unions.

College "I Voted" Parties
It's critical for success in November that the youth vote, which overwhelmingly supports Barack Obama, actually shows up at the polls. We could encourage college students to vote by organizing "I Voted" parties on campuses, where to get in students must wear an "I Voted" sticker or show a valid ballot stub.

Bus service to get people to the polls from colleges to nursing homes
In order to win, we need to get out as many people as possible to vote. Why not offer a bus or shuttle service to ensure that people get out and vote in Novemeber.... Let people know that if they don't have a car or transportation, that it will be provided for them because voting is our right and duty as American citizens

Text Message Voting Information and Deadlines
Having been around a lot of lazy college kids, I know that many of them, even the well-informed, are unable to register to vote in time, especially if they are out of state. If we want to bring out the young Obama supporters we need to stress the deadlines for registering and other important information necessary to make voting easy and less of a seemingly daunting task.

Spend time on College Campuses
College students will turn out in droves to see Obama. Coming to the campuses and holding major registration drives will get the students registered and energized to vote in November. This voting block is vital to an Obama success and cannot be ignored. Spend more time on universities in swing states to make sure they vote on election day.

Buses on Election Day
I think we need to organize buses/vans to take voters (especially college students) to the voting booth on Election Day. I know young people are so motivated to vote this year, but we are always disappointed when young people don't actually turn out to vote. If we can carpool, hire buses, vans, etc. then we can get loads of people to the polls, no excuses!

Do Voter Registration Drives At Every Walmart In America!
I know that in GA there is a big push within the Obama campaign for voter registration, and I'm assuming that this is the case most places in America. Walmart's are the PERFECT place to do this-- there is a steady flow of traffic, lots of it is low income and/or low education, and they're coming out frustrated with how much money they just spent.

Democrats live everywhere
In states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, we need to identify and encourage Democrats living outside the traditional heavily Democratic urban districts, and get them to the polls. Where it's close, we have to go after every vote. Where door to door isn't practical, we should at least make sure that these Democrats get phone calls.

Unprecedented registration efforts in cities
Obama holds a significant advantage in almost all urban areas, with nearly all the demographics trending his way; enormously significant efforts should be put towards registering as many people as humanly possible to vote in these areas. Flood the streets with registration agents!
