RNC chief on criticism of early voting: ‘We need to stop that’
The Hill ^ | 12/07/2022 | JULIA SHAPERO

Posted on 12/07/2022 9:52:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Tuesday urged members of her party to stop discouraging early voting and vote by mail.

“Our voters need to vote early,” McDaniel told Fox News. “I have said this over and over again. There were many in 2020 saying, ‘Don’t vote by mail, don’t vote early.’ And we have to stop that and understand that if Democrats are getting ballots in for a month, we can’t expect to get it all done in one day.”

Former President Trump was among the leading voices that questioned the security and validity of early and mail voting in 2020, baselessly claiming they allowed for fraud and rigged the election against him.

An RNC spokesperson later sought to clarify that the chairwoman was not speaking about the former president in her comments to Fox News.

One day for voting

Must show ID

And definitely NO ‘mail-in’ votes!

>>I don’t see a problem with early voting<<

Suppose the “Laptop from Hell” had been successfully exposed?

Do you bother to change your vote?

In-person early voting, ID required, can be secure, it should be same process are regular voting. Mail-in/absentee has a lot more problems.

Mail-in ballots need to go.

And I need to be the next PowerBall lottery winner. Vote-by-mail has been legalized in too many states, and those state legislatures aren't going to get rid of it just because Republicans have still not learned to play the ballot-harvesting game.

Romney's niece is right about this, but she is definitely NOT the right person to do anything about getting the GOP competitive in vote-by-mail.

> We need more winning and less whining.

Every effort should be made to make elections simple, completely open, transparent, and trustworthy and timely, especially since we pay for it.

That is what they did in Florida, and the failure to do the same in AZ, PA, and GA is the mathematically proveable reason for the vastly different outcomes this election cycle.

“Our voters need to vote early,” McDaniel told Fox News. “I have said this over and over again."

OK, if we are going to vote like Kenya - Luo ballots to the left, Kikuyu ballots to the right - then let's do away with campaigning and especially donations to candidates.

If you don't plan to listen to the candidates, in fact, why bother with voting at all?

Just have NPR do a poll.

She is retarded and needs to go

Yup, Rhonda needs to go as RNC chair and she is related I believe to that loser "Romney".

BTW, I hope Romney loses.

It was a lousy performance by Rhonda.

It all boils down to "Approved Candidates Only" may expect to win an election. It doesn't matter what the people vote for.

The institutions of federal government see their finger on the scale as a simple quality control of candidates task force operation. It's for our benefit.

Yep. Whenever I read about people who want to make it harder to legally vote in this country, allegedly as their "cure" for having lost elections, it raises my suspicions.

Yes they should compete under whatever existing rules.

But early voting is a disaster and should not be supported.

We can keep arguing about it, but until there is a change in laws we have no choice but to mobilize a much better ground offensive, state by state since each one is different. The advantage Dems have is not that great. We are losing on tactics.

For old Republicans, Republicans working multiple jobs just to make ends meet, Republicans with lots of kids to look after, Republicans with aging parents to care for... perhaps so.

This the nationwide Rep talking point. And as everyone knows you get 2 or 3 votes per ballot if you mail in. In person you only get one vote.

I’d rather loose those few voters than establish a blatantly compromised ghetto voting system.

What were Trump's excuses for voting by mail and voting early? You calling him a "lard ass"?
