They do't deliver.  They "Campaign for".  If they are popular, they might (or might not) help some popularity rub off on the candidate.

The governors can't generally do this solo, but there are some 'gray area" tactics such as limiting the number of polling stations in opposing districts (thus causing a several-hour line to vote that some may not choose to endure), "liberally" purging voter rolls, allowing "challenges" to set aside votes of voters in the opposition party to intimidate them out of voting (often in conjunction with long lines at polling stations giving potential voters a sense of futility), finding excuses to exclude/include new voter registrations on technicality, and creative "interperetation" of ballots.
