Over the last decade, the Republican Party has spent tens of millions of dollars on its voter contact efforts to help identify who their voters are and where they live. The action was critical to the party’s get-out-the-vote efforts over the last several election cycles.
On paper, the voter canvassing efforts were an enormous success. But the reality is, the entire operation was a mirage. And the party leadership knows it.
The voter contact effort depended on paid vendors instead of volunteers as the get-out-the-vote effort used to. Canvassers were usually paid by the number of potential voters they contacted. But the system was rife with fraud, and several GOP field operators claim that the scam occurred in Nevada, Georgia, and Oregon.
That’s the least of the party’s problems.
That’s just three states. But these individuals say those problems, as well as allegations raised in a recent lawsuit against one of the largest vendors in the conservative canvassing business, should raise internal alarms. These field operators said they’ve harbored similar concerns for multiple cycles but only provided documentation for the most recent midterms.
The problems, six people said, are pitfalls of the right’s increased reliance on paid canvassers rather than volunteers, and on a sprawling web of vendors and consultants tasked with what can be a thankless, though critical, job. Seven people said that cheating is on the rise amid pressure to quickly meet steep outreach goals.
“That’s why we’re losing elections,” one Republican field veteran said of the conservative canvassing apparatus. “Nobody wants to admit it.”
The problem isn’t for-profit vendors. The problem is oversight of the vendors and the entire canvassing operation. If the party wants accurate data, they’re going to have to work for it.

I think you have it backwards. The democrats steal enough votes to win, no more than that.
when I first arrived here on student visa to work on masters in engineering way back in 1960, this was an amazing country.
Sad to see the change now compared to then. But I am thankful for arriving at a good time, and having lived a great life here.
Sad what 40 years has done. Time got me as well. Sigh.
This falls under the responsibility of the recently re-elected RNC head, Rona McDaniels. So, no wonder we haven’t won since she was RNC chair.
The races are close because the democrats only create just enough votes to win. Without the cheating they wouldn’t be close.
I think they are absolutely clueless about how much Democrats cheat. Stupid party is stuck in 1993. If they won’t acknowledge the big cheat they are useless to us.
Yes, we do. Unfortunately, the morons will take us down with them!
Take your pick or add to the list.
Stupidity
Incompetence
Suicide
Ignorance
