swing voters

I read in the Guardian about the Clark County project, an opportunity for Guardian readers to try and influence some voters in a swing county in Ohio. The idea is that you sign up, the Guardian sends you the email address of a voter in Clark County and you send them a message urging them to vote.

Unfortunately, this hasn't gone down very well with many of the recipients of the emails - I read a few of the responses today and was a bit surprised at the vehemence of the reaction! Guess people just don't like being told what to do!
