"The VoteWithMe app provides you with the top 10 contacts from your address book who we're worried won't turn out to vote."

Earlier in the line it is: "based on the likelihood that they support progressive candidates"

So, we have a group claiming to be civic minded, but will only encourage the "correct" individuals in your phone book to vote; those individuals who are not supporting the correct candidates, we will not encourage them to vote.

These guys probably have access to the Obama Path to Victory database or something similar and are using this to engage contacts through direct interaction.
