Ordinarily, when the topic of utulizing statistics and consumer information is mentioned, the mind zooms directly into the clinical and impersonal, that is, the more sophisticated the technology, the less interaction between you and me. However, on Tuesday evening, November 3rd, Mike Hruby and his group demonstrated the opposite. They not only showed warm and welcoming hospitality, they also offered practical advice on using compiled data in ways that help build the community.
Margie Brandon (center) of the Acton Republican Town Committee, wowed the audience with her computer know-how and her understanding of statistical analysis. Christine Doucette, (left) Chair of Boxborough RTC, talked about how to take these dispassionate numbers and get down to the personal level.
Mike Hruby gave a show 'n tell presentation on "How to Get and Use Voter Lists", complete with hand-outs and props. He also explained, from a marketing perspective, the value of gathering this data, available to all rtc's in Massachusetts through the town clerk's office, for free.
Mike Hruby's Definition of "Voting Blocks"
Mike began his segment of the evening by quoting Charlie Baker who said, "'Politics is additive.'" He then took Charlie's idea and varied it, noting that "Politics are also subtractive."
