Pledge to vote game

[shaisachs]

My basic concept here is to mash up the campaign's pledge to vote form (e.g. https://elizabethwarren.com/pledge/new-hampshire?source=web-join-us-nh) with a walk-a-thon type page. Here's the basic idea of how this would work:

• As a Warren supporter I create a "Why I support Warren" page with maybe my picture, a paragraph or two of text, and my vote pledge goal ("My goal is to get 25 pledges to vote!" or what have you.)
• At the bottom of the page is a "pledge to vote" form that includes name, email, etc.
• I share this page with my friends, via facebook/email/etc, and ask my friends to pledge to vote.
• As my friends pledge to vote on my page, I make progress towards my goal, and I can even bump it up if the pledge drive is going better than expected.
• We can gamify the whole thing with a leader board, or perhaps a leaderboard per state; fun badges like "Early State Superstar" for people who get a lot of pledges in IA/NH/NV/SC; and so on.
• Naturally, we make things viral by encouraging vote-pledgers to create their own "Why I support Warren" pages.
• And of course this idea pairs pretty nicely with #14, i.e. once someone pledges to vote we can make sure that person has the info needed to actually vote.
