A form letter email is never a good idea, though. Yes, it might save time but all they do is annoy the recipient.

Also, we will NEVER convince the typical, partisan elector to vote for Hillary instead of him. If we're not pushing someone like Romney or McMullin or some other not as horrible Republican, they will never change their votes. If there indeed was a consensus other candidate, I was not aware of it.
