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.”

The deep state / uniparty loves mail in voting.
Mail in voting should be illegal, but it’s legal in many states, ignoring that is tying one arm behind your back and trying to defeat Democrats who have mastered the art.
You play the game by the rules that exist, not the rules you wish existed.
Ignoring early voting and mail in voting a ticket to continued defeats.
She needs to go - NOW.
Mail in voting is completely unverifiable in its current state and dangerously open to hacks and deception (as has been seen in the last 2 elections)
It must be abolished.
So do the Democrats. They've figured out how to make it work for them.
It's also extremely popular with voters.
“The deep state / uniparty loves mail in voting.”
And Trump loves losing. Democrats have a month to vote, and Maga Republicans are restricting themselves to one day of voting? So stupid.
Trash it all you want but that won’t make it go away. Mail-in voting? not great but most places let you drop them off in person. Early voting? Not as bad but in either case, repubs might want to wait until 1-2 days before election day so that crooked election people don’t have as much time to fiddle with things. Voting in person on election day? Works fine where I am. Maricopa AZ? Not so much.
Ironic that the RNC Chair endorses mail in voting and yet is so piss poor at participating in it.
A better strategy is to show up for early voting as soon as possible.
For goodness sake: How long will the Republicans tolerate the R.McD mediocrity? I am convinced the RNC survives because democrats keep it alive.
The uniparty in in control.
I wonder why all those European and African countries stopped mail in balloting?
Easy to commit fraud maybe?

“Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel unequivocally endorsed mail-in balloting”
We are doomed. in 19 everyone knew the reason the rats wanted mail voting was to enable cheating on a massive scale. We got it and they did and there probably is no road back. Many countries forbid mail voting this reason. But not here, oh no.
She is probably against voter ID and paper ballots, too. She may even be against voter registration. She’s on the other side.
Any strategy is better than what is being tried now, Republicans keep losing but they keep doing the same things, which is the clinical definition of insanity.
“There were many in 2020 saying, ‘Don’t vote by mail, don’t vote early.’ And we have to stop that.”
Hold up, Ronna…. Donald Trump LED early; with a SUBSTANTIAL lead - until those several swing States STOPPED the counting for some reason..
Oh yeah, then came the LATE ballots (surprise!!) then lo and behold, Plugs Biden somehow got more votes than anyone ever has in the history of the world..
This is B.S. Voting “early” means nothing when democrats get to run the whole election process.
If they don't lose elections, they can't campaign on election fraud!
Duh!
Romneys gonna Romney.
Gave google $1 million while complaining about RNC emails getting sent to gmail spam.
