Several times when I canvassed on weekends, I ran into other canvassers. They were always Democrats. Usually, I was canvassing for a Congressional or State candidate and the other canvasser was out for Harris-Walz. We made sure to avoid overlap so as not to knock on the same door twice in five minutes.
But I never ran into a Trump canvasser. In fact, I saw only one piece of Trump literature on a porch the whole time I canvassed. In some neighborhoods, I would see several pieces of literature left under a mat or near a door I was canvassing. The literature could be for Harris-Walz or other candidates, but it was there.
I listened to Holly Otterbein, a Pennsylvania political reporter talk about strife within the PA Republican Party over canvassing. She said the party traditional organized canvassing, but the national party had hired Elon Musk to control the canvassing and it was not getting done. That certainly agreed with what I saw. No literature. No canvassers.
If Harris-Walz win Pennsylvania that lack of canvassing may be a factor. I can only hope.
