iPhone Revolutionizes Political Canvassing

Organizing for America (OAF), the political arm of the Democratic National Committee, today announced an upgrade of its iPhone app, just in time for November’s contentious mid-term elections.

The new tool takes what was once the bain of every field workers’ existence, canvassing, or the organizing of door-to-door campaign visits, from campaign headquarters to the voters’ own pockets.

After downloading the iPhone app, campaign volunteers can quickly pull up data on voters in their area, including maps to where voters live and lists of voter contacts.
