Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel unequivocally endorsed mail-in balloting Tuesday, distancing herself from former President Donald Trump on an issue that is fracturing the GOP in the wake of disappointing election results this fall.
“What we do need is our voters need to vote early,” McDaniel, a longtime Trump ally, said during a televised interview on 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.”...
"The discussion was about Democrats having a month to bank votes while Republicans expect to get it done in one day," RNC spokesperson Nathan Brand said in a statement to NBC News. "We were not talking about the former president, who has encouraged his base to vote early and has himself voted by mail."
But Trump, who already has launched a 2024 presidential campaign, also is the most prominent skeptic of voting by mail. He continues to raise false and unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part through vote-by-mail programs in battleground states. As recently as last week on his Truth Social website, he wrote, in all capital letters for emphasis: “YOU CAN NEVER HAVE FAIR & FREE ELECTIONS WITH MAIL-IN BALLOTS — NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.”

It's popular with leftist dirtbags such as yourself.
For me, the deep state / uniparty includes the DNC and RNC.
Mail in voting IS here to stay.
Early voting, mail-in voting, RCV, and RCV-enabled voting machines have ALL got to go if we want to restore our republic.
Anyone who says otherwise is allied with Deep State.
The problem is lots and lots of voters like VBM and early voting. Getting rid of them isn't going to happen.
We can complain that life isn't fair or we can deal with the world as we find it.
How do you plan to get rid of mail in voting? At a minimum, you need to WIN AN ELECTION first!
In Michigan, Prop 2 passed by a wide margin and had majority support in many Red counties.
Lot of Red counties in Michigan voted in favour of Prop 2 which means many Republicans voted for it. I was one of them.
How do you plan to get rid of mail in voting?
FWIW, I’m not really kidding. Oh, and my Galt’s Knob experience just got expanded to Grand Bahamas. My wife’s best friend just bought a place there on a channel and we just drove down to Ft Lauderdale and made an offer on a 50’ twin diesel to get between the two places. We’ll be snowbirding there - and going permanent if the need arises.
My wife’s friend is moving there specifically to get out of the US. In my case, I did it by moving to rural KY. It really is like living in Atlas Shrugged right now. The parallels are enormous compared to even just a few years ago. The fact that they are getting away with it is a “teaching” moment for me.
