Candidates shift focus from fundraising and ad buying to getting out the vote

With less than two weeks until election day, most media purchases have been made, and candidates have likely been chained to the phone and/or knocking on doors for the last several weeks. It's all for naught if voters don't get to the polls, which is where the focus is now. Arkansas saw almost 22,000 show up at the polls on the first day, and we're at 450 here in Miller County. With 88,000 new Arkansans on the voter registry, we're likely to see a record turnout.
