Joe Biden's campaign announced plans to start door-to-door campaigning after insisting for months the strategy wasn't necessary

The Republican National Committee ripped the Biden campaign for their reversal and mocked its effort to start canvassing so late. Those efforts appear to have paid off in at least one key way: Republicans have been outmatching Democrats in voter registration amidst the pandemic. Since June, the GOP has made a net gain of 135,619 voters in Pennsylvania, while Democrats added just 57,985, election analyst David WassermanEven if Republicans are inflating their door-knocking count, as some Democrats insist, it is effectively impossible for Biden’s campaign to match Trump’s door-knocking numbers before Election Day.
“I think the critical question is whether they have enough staff dispersed across those states to handle all of the potential volunteers and reach all of the people on the doors who are in their target voter universes,” Sandberg said. “I’m relieved that they’re doing this. Look, phone calls and texts and relational organizing are all effective. But no tactic reaches everyone, and there are some people who you’re only going to reach if you knock on their door.
