According to a study involving more than 7,500 citizens that was conducted during elections in New Jersey in 2009 and Texas in 2010, untrained get-out-the-vote callers discerned which self-predicted voters would either vote or fail to vote by using subtle nonverbal cues; the callers used respondents' voice-related cues to discern their intent to vote, suggesting that untrained callers could enable judicious allocation of political campaign resources.
