Political campaign postcard
Object Details
- Description
- Unable to get out the vote by knocking on doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, voter groups organized letter- and postcard-writing campaigns, especially in so-called "battleground" states. Such mailers and postcards were sent to voters in Georgia's 5th and 6th Congressional Districts by partisan and non-partisan organizations and individuals during the 2020 general election and the 2021 runoff election for US Senate seat in Georgia. This mail combines election mail information with preprinted reminders, handwritten messages, and some advocate for candidates or parties.
- White postcard with multi-color illustration of person waving a flag with cursive writing "Vote Tuesday Jan 5th"; "BE A VOTER" in red at top; addressed to "Important Voter" in Atlanta, Georgia; apparent handwritten cursive message on back in black ink with orange markings, "Hi Georgia Voter!", rectangular sticker of bushel of fruit in middle right of postcard; Political campaign postcard sent by nonprofit organization Postcards to Voters. Addressed to a voter in Fulton County, Georgia for the US Senate runoff election on January 5, 2021. Postcard was postmarked November 27, 2020 in Louisville, Kentucky.
