This adds perspective & I want to highlight something else about the affect of digital campaign on rural voters

B/c of lag time btwn these communities & suburbs, cities, reliable internet & culture of digital age is at a different stage of development. Here's what I mean:
It's only been 2-3 years that our local elementary school has taken communication online. As PTA, we debated about whether enough parents & guardians were comfortable enough w/ it for it to be main source of communication.
My husband created online presence for the church he pastored somewhere in 2015 range. Folks in the church have only joined FB in last 5 years. I know plenty of people who still won't bank or pay bills online.
It's somewhat generational w/ these communities having larger share of older folks, but it's more than that. When pandemic hit, school districts were scrambling to figure out how to get kids access to internet at home.
