Where did Wisconsin's historic protest crowds go after the huge rallies at the Capitol and across the state? Back to their neighborhoods, of course. Back home, they put down their signs to collect recall petition signatures, then knocked on their neighbors' doors to get out the vote for their successful recall drive.

(You can follow the ongoing story through the Wisconsin blogs.)

Over the weekend, WeAreWisconsin reported on their website that volunteers knocked on 103,000 doors, and announced over Twitter that they'd knocked on 200,000 by the day of the election. [Figures updated.]

A press release today from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin credited the 8,234 volunteers they worked with for making 784,374 voter contacts over the weekend.

Neither the protests nor the unprecedented recall would have even gotten started without these equally historic levels of public support from Wisconsin residents. And there's still time to help.

If you live in Wisconsin, you can volunteer to help get out the vote with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, or the We Are Wisconsin campaign.

In close elections like these, every vote counts.

Update: You can find Wisconsin Election Protection on Facebook, along with the reminder that voters will be asked for photo ID today, but aren't required to have it.
