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.”

Defend it if you are stupid, for the peril is in the mail-in balloting that has few controls to ensure they are even valid votes by real citizens.
Many Republicans also vote by mail or early voting.
France had mass mail in voting, but they banned it in 1975 after massive corruption was exposed. Now they have paper ballots, put in envelopes by the voter, deposited in transparent boxes and counted on site. No mail in ballots, no early voting. No bundling up ballots and carrying them to some designated “counting center.” No fraud and corruption of the electoral process.
So they are telling me that there there is no chance of fraud? Wow.
The ballot pool for the Rats consists of an unending list of names from all County welfare recipients and SSI, EDD, and DMV clients, just some among endless government agencies. All pound recipents endlessly with ballot registration forms and constant reminders to vote.
Who knows what they are doing with their massive immigration bureaucracy. An endless candy store there.
Unions have been strong-arming their members for decades. No doubt every federal, state, and county employee has voting marching orders. And let's not forget Santa's little helpers at the United States Post Office.
Anyone who thinks the GOP could actually benefit from mail-in voting, early or otherwise, is incredibly naive. This mail-in scheme is a sucker's game for our side.
This woman along with Mitch McConnell needs to go.
Professional Politicians love mail-in cheating
RNC can GTH!
I would outlaw mail in frauding. Mail ins would only be accepted if signature of voter has been notarized. Stop screwing around with this fraud crap.
needs to be litigated
Mail-in voting is THE means by which the UniParty most reliably retains power
It disenfranchises every taxpayer in favor of the Federal and state dependents
It is NO DIFFERENT than SLAVERY-under the veneer of the modern state mechanism
Better yet, we cut all this crap out and return to voting day voting. You get there to vote or you don’t vote.
Two day voting at the most. Why is it we succumb to what RATs decide we are are going to do? Ever since they got their way we have had massive cheating.
What you are giving in to is seeing who does the best job outcheating the other side.
That is not voting. One man or woman, one vote. That is fair voting.
Yeah, in nevada its brilliant, they mail ballots out to every name of every person who was ever alive or dead whether they live here or not to every address whether it exists or not, and we are supposed to believe nobody collects fake ballots under fake names to fake addresses
Ballots in Churches, ballots at gun shows, and everywhere else Conservatives gather. Go house to House. Stick it up the Leftists but. CA. has shown the way.
Well over 80% of Arizonans vote by mail and it's been extremely popular for decades.
Even when AZ was reliably red.
The RNC isn’t going to like my letter they’ll be receiving in their donation envelope.
