a new study shows the group's massive 2020 get out of the vote letter wriing campaign is among the highest impact programs ever measured in a prlt election. joining us now is scott toreman, executive director and founder of vote forward. so good to see you. let's dig into some of the numbers from your just released report. more than 200,000 volunteers wrote and sent more than 17.6 million letters to voters in 20 states in 2020. that translates, you say, to approximately 126,000 additional votes from vote forward letters in the general. it might seem basic, but why is letter writing turning out to be so effective do you think? >> thanks for having me on. it's a pleasure to be here. i'm happy to talk about our program last year. my theory is that there's something about the very genuine and very human and personal act
