Running somewhere in Indiana?

Motion51 does not hold the Indiana voter file, and Indiana is a state where you get it yourself from the county. Be clear-eyed about what arrives: under IC 3-7-26.4-8(c) the public list is redacted, so it carries names and addresses but no voting history, no voter identification number, no date of birth, gender, phone, email or registration date. The unredacted file costs $5,000 a year and its permitted buyers do not include ordinary candidates, and IC 3-7-27-6(c) even lets a county decline to release a list at all. So an Indiana canvass is built on addresses rather than on turnout scores, which is what municipal campaigns have always done. Ask your county election board for the list, bring it here, and we will load it in, cut turf, and send volunteers out with a phone instead of a clipboard. The free tier costs nothing to try.
