GOP to test get-out-the-vote machine during partisan primaries

[Geee]

Watchdog.org:

MADISON, Wis. — Turnout may be sparse in Tuesday’s partisan primary elections, but the numbers will be more than enough to test the GOP’s new-and-improved get-out-the-vote machine, say Republican Party of Wisconsin officials.

 

It would appear the political machine has a leg up, technologically and grassroots-wise, on their rivals, although a Democratic Party official tells Wisconsin Reporter that Dems have used up a lot of shoe leather in their bid to win November.

 

It’s always a test. M.D. Kittle explains the GOP’s ground game in Wisconsin.

GOP MACHINE: Republican Party of Wisconsin officials say they will test out their campaign infrastructure during Wisconsin’s partisan primaries. They say this political machine, gathering and collecting real-time data on Wisconsin voters, is built to last.

State Republican Party officials say they’ve learned a lot since the 2012 presidential campaign when their man Mitt Romney fell apart in the battleground Badger State, losing by 7 percentage points to Democrat incumbent President Barack Obama.

 

The biggest lesson, they say, is that it’s difficult to win elections if you’re not active. In other words, you can’t come in six months before an election and hope that will be enough time to build a network and a message.

Are Wisconsin's Primaries open or closed (or half-way in between like AZ)?

No cross over, I checked this morning

Then it will be a good test of the GOTV. Any "open" primary will pollute the results, as it did in MS.
