Can Turning Point Action’s ‘Chase The Vote’ Offset Democrats’ Election Machine?
The Federalist ^ | 4/1/24 | Shawn Fleetwood

Posted on 04/01/2024 4:37:50 PM PDT by CFW

PHOENIX, Ariz. — It’s not lost on conservatives that Democrats have mastered the art of modern-day electioneering. Through the use of left-wing voter registration groups bankrolled by wealthy Democrat donors and highly sophisticated ballot chasing operations, Democrats have crafted a state-of-the-art machine designed to accrue their candidates an advantage over Republicans ahead of Election Day.

The GOP’s failure to mimic similar operations has contributed to numerous electoral defeats in the years since the 2020 election and the coincident expansion of mail-in voting — but one conservative group is hoping to change that trend.

Last week, Turning Point Action (TPA), the 501(c)(4) political advocacy arm of Turning Point USA, held its first series of trainings for hired activists to chase Republican-favorable ballots in the months leading up to the November elections. Known as “Chase the Vote,” the initiative seeks to offset Democrats’ strategy by identifying, engaging, and mobilizing primarily low-propensity GOP voters in Arizona, Wisconsin, and potentially Georgia.

“There are all these people who do not vote [and] who are on the early voter rolls,” Tyler Bowyer, Turning Point Action’s chief operation officer and Arizona’s RNC committeeman, told The Federalist. “We need to make sure that they vote, whether that’s early or in person.”

Training GOP Ballot Chasers Part of TPA’s training is instructing chasers on how to engage with prospective GOP voters — and that means identifying the problems with the Republican Party’s current approach to voter outreach.

The general consensus among the roughly two dozen Arizona chasers who attended last week’s training was that the GOP’s methods are ineffective and impersonal. Attendees described them as “transactional” and opined that the party’s tactics regularly fail to connect with electors in ways that prompt them to vote.

I'm not sure we can beat the margin of fraud. The left got away with it in 2020 and 2022 without repercussions. I don't think they have any reason not to go full steam ahead with fraudulent ballots and vote totals again this year.

Information came out at a hearing today, that Fulton County, Georgia did absolutely no signature matching of thier mail-in ballots.

Marxist Dems own Dominion and since Dominion counts the votes RNC doesn’t have a chance.

That would explain Obozo’s acquiring 14 million dollars and Pelosi made over 100 million dollars in 2020.

Re: "Ballot chasing"

What ballots will the Political Right be chasing?

I have never met a Republican or Conservative who failed to vote in a presidential or mid-term election.

Thanks to massive legal and illegal immigration - which a majority of Republicans support - the GOP is now a permanent minority party.

We cannot win the Popular Vote in presidential elections, and we will need to be very lucky just to tie in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives.

Geez why don’t you just raise a white flag above your head? There are plenty of ungotten votes to be gotten, you just actually have to get up off your fat rear end and work at it. If we are losing elections, it’s more due to all the defeatist who whine & make excuses but contribute nothing 🙄

Republicans can’t beat the Dems on fraud because they cheat in places where they have contrived to control the election management, using Dominion’s features, not verifying signatures, “adjudicating” votes, never purging dead and relocated voters, casting ghost military ballot, etc. You can’t beat them at this without descending to their level and cheating too. But Republican cheaters will be busted and prosecuted, whereas the Dems are immune.

Where State legislatures have the opportunity, they need to break up the over-concentrated counting operations in places like Fulton Co, or Detroit, where the giant scale creates chaos the cheats can hide in.

When we read about Dems ballot harvesting or ballot chasing or registering voters we get WHY DONT REPUBLICANS EVER DO ANYTHING and of course we do there are all sorts of lawsuits and victories and leaders and wins and election integrity projects and all, although we could certainly do more…

And then when we do get such a big effort it’s a lot of SO WHAT THE DEMS WILL WIN BY FRAUD ANYWAY

Lead, follow or get out of the way.

The problem is they have a control-system in place. They don’t just randomly dump a huge number of fraudulent ballots into the mix and hope it takes them across the finish line. If they are still behind on election night despite all the fake ballots, they will stop counting (meaning they won’t declare a winner ) and *order more*. However many it takes to put the Democrat ahead. I don’t know how you safeguard against that.

“I’m not sure we can beat the margin of fraud.”

That’s likely true in many cities where the criminals can get away with it. Hope many of these crooks won’t go out on a limb this time and risk getting caught for the dementia ridden, porridge brain, Alzheimer’s patient and Criminal-In-Chief so here’s to hoping there will be less crooks this time.

I bet when Republicans act like Democrats they will be prosecuted for infringing on Democrat copyrights and patents.

Nursing homes and hobo jungles etc. That is what it is about. Republicans cannot compete in chicanery, even quasi legal chicanery.

I’m convinced a lot of our MAGA allies are doing just that. They are expecting someone else to lead so they don’t have to. They want Trump to fight for them. A lot of them are too dumb to know that when Trump won in 2016, it wasn’t because he had some sort of magic formula that he unleashed. It was because we got out & voted our asses off. We inspired others, who didn’t normally vote, to show up. Nobody was out there telling them that the election was already decided & their votes wouldn’t matter. The people who voted that year triumphed because they were being told that I’d they organized, they could overcome anything. There weren’t any wimps out there convinced of defeat, standing around boohooing. Democrats have been cheating for decades. It can be overcome. People need to quit convincing themselves & others that defeat is inevitable. The only time that defeat becomes an inevitability, is when you don’t even try 😉🤫

That’s not how they did it, it wasn’t Dominion, as a computer guy I can tell you that is too easy to trace, see 2,000 Mules, they did it the old fashioned, stuffing ballot boxes and filling out hard copy ballots by the tens of thousands

. Turning Point is doing something the RNC and even the Trump campaign needs to do, it has to do with the % of low propensity voters-the Dems just do it for them, we need to do something
