In order to gauruntee a huge turnout on election day and at the primaries there are a couple things we can do.
1st All meetup groups should get any necessary paperwork needed to register republican and hold a "Switch your Party/Join the Republicans" Party. And fill out the forms with them at the meetup and someone within the meetup should send them in.
2nd Get a list of everyone in your area who has said they will vote for RON; including Name, telephone #, address, email, work schedule for election day and what party they are currently a part of.
3rd and most important organize a group within the meetup group of people who have transportation and can gauruntee they will have OFF from work on the Primary day. And pick people up and bring them to the polls yourself. You could even have some sort of raffle amongst the people that you do pickup and bring to vote. Everyone who gets picked up and brought to vote gets a ticket..winner gets (whatever the meetup group raised some money for and bought) could be Ron Paul gear or even something not even associated with Ron Paul like an inexpensive TV or something. If some of the more apathetic voters think there is something they can win(other than freedom) they may be more likely to come out.
As for college students who are at a school out of state; the College meetup groups should Get the necessary paperwork for absentee ballots;
or
Organize a day where they can all register in that state and once again the meetup group should get the necessary paperwork and do it with them.
The main reason I think this will be effective is because some people regardless of whether they understand the cause or not are not going to be motivated to do it if they know they have to fill out a bunch of forms and go get a state ID(out of state college students).
If every meetup group can do this it will make more of the supporters accountable and they will feel obligated not just to help Ron out but they will feel obligated to help YOU out.
