So you would say to the vendor, “We're going to pay you a significant amount of money to make phone calls and send text messages, but you pick the people.” That's not how I would do it. I'd give my vendor specific people to contact, either to get my voters out to vote, or, within my riding, to assess what their voting intention might be, if I want to put a poll into the field, which I have not done but I could do.
How do you decide? Do you say, whatever numbers you choose, Mr. Undisclosed Vendor?
