"Both right-leaning group Americans for Limited Government and left-leaning group Southern Coalition for Social Justice are using peer pressure to push voters to the polls.

Both say their goal is to increase turnout, but their method has left some people feeling their privacy is being violated.

"What my neighbors do is none of my business, and what I do is none of their business," said Christie McKenzie, a Wake County resident who recently received a mailer about whether her neighbors vote.

The political mailing lists her neighbors' names and addresses and shows whether they voted in 2008 and 2010. It then urged her in bold letters to "do your civic duty – vote" and promised a follow-up report after the election.

Although such voting information is public record, McKenzie said publishing it feels like voter intimidation. And the promise of a follow-up report struck her as a threat. "

I saw a story on the news last night about bosses pressuring their employees to vote a certain way. In the last election, my boss used to continuously send out anti-Obama e-mails to the entire staff. She knew full well that at least half the office supported Obama.
