I opened my door as, possibly the candidate and a handler, were approaching and got to the first step:
“We’ve already voted”
He said “Oh great, and can we assume you voted of us!?!?” all cheery and expecting me to say yes.
“NOPE! <they turned around quickly> Not a chance.” Closed door.

Alright, but ideally you waste their time for 30 minutes so they can't get to others. A good opener is to pretend you recognize them from somewhere, then keep going back to that every time they try to leave. "Wait, were you at game 3 of the second round 2015 run around section 209? I think we met through Dave at Pocket Dogs." "No, that not it, we'll it'll come to me in a few minutes. Would you like a tea? I've got a bag around here somewhere..."
