Republicans can’t win in 2024 unless they embrace early voting

There are a number of actions Republicans could and should take to win big in the 2024 election. But one thing they must do is embrace mail-in and early voting. The good news is that it appears the GOP leadership is trying to do just that. But will it be enough?

According to a Pew Research Center poll from October, right before the 2022 midterms, “Republican voters, who already lacked confidence in absentee and mail voting, are now also less likely to say they are very confident that ballots cast in person at polling places will be counted as voters intend.”

I hate early voting

Republicans can’t win in 2024 unless they embrace early plural voting.

[BigFreakinToad]

early voting should be for like a day before and hard as hell to do it. ease of use is part of the problem and no F’n mail in voting.

[BenLurkin]

One day on which to vote

Must present identification.

[OttawaFreeper]

Well, there is also the cheating and fraud in places like Detroit, Atlanta, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and elsewhere regardless of early voting.

‘I hate early voting’

I hate the two party system, I hate the winner take all electoral voting, in fact I hate a lot of things...

none of which makes any difference whatsoever, as life goes on despite my little snits and irritations...

[poinq]

early voting is fraudulent voting. I am less interested in the fraudulent voting of the republican leaders than I am the fraudulent voting of the democrats. I want honest voting. I do not win, when the vote is fraudulent no matter which party the fake candidate comes from.

[Fuzz]

If the voter is verified, why would it be fraudulent?

You and I could take turns being king.

“Republicans can’t win in 2024 unless they [grow a set of stones and fight the democrats rather than being doormats]....

there....fixed that....!!

[rigelkentaurus]

Rs cannot win in 2024 unless they somehow wrest control of the voting counting from the crooked Ds that infest every government agency especially the local ones in major cities even in Red States and the SoS offices.

[IrishBrigade]

‘ease of use is part of the problem and no F’n mail in voting.’

actually, no, that’s not the problem; the Republicans not being able to win the popular vote is...

if they could, they would all be in favor of early voting, mail in ballots, and electoral college restructuring, and so would the people on this website...but as it is, the pubbies are forced to embrace policies amounting to depressing voter turnout, and good luck selling that in today’s dim bulb environment...

[Fido969]

GOTV is a red herring. It’s ballot box stuffing that is swinging the elections.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Amen.

[eyeamok]

The Hill practicing yellow journalism and LYING thru their teeth. Early voting and mail in voting allows them to see how many phantom ballo5ts they need to win before election day. This presstitute should be ashamed, but since presstitutes have no morals and are the lowest scum on earth, they don’t.

[JSM_Liberty]

I don’t have a problem with early voting, the procedures for early in-person voting are the same as those for on the day in-person voting.

Mail in is different, those procedures are completely different from in-person voting.

[DoodleBob]

Trump and DeSantis (it'll be one of these guys) have to answer just ONE question. How are you going to flip 38+ electoral votes?

We NEED Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona or some combo theirin.

And this is against the backdrop of mail-in voting, which isn't going away.

This is the first article I've read where SOMEONE is proposing a way to address this challenge. Many FReepers are getting it right - we need not break law like the Others, but at least bring a knife to a knife fight.

flamberge had some good ideas too:

To the extent that we have any legal and peaceful means of winning "elections" it will depend on adopting new tactics and strategies to game the mail-in ballot system.

Committing ballots as early as possible is part of what is needed. Get the ballots with relentless daily tracking of Republican voters and provide them with every possible assistance to turn in a vote.

Preventing last-minute injection of fraudulent ballots is another critical part of what is needed.

Campaign advertising must change. Issues don't really matter all that much. Hard to accept, but how many times does that need to be demonstrated? "Tribal" affiliations override just about everything else.

The biggest factor, however, is not race, nor ethnic background, nor religion. It is gender. Quite simply, the Republicans must focus on appealing to men.

Without any apology, the Republicans must project hyper-masculine imagery in everything they do, even to the point of caricature.

It is the one strategy that can draw enough Black and Hispanic men to cripple the Democrat voter base. They have become too dependent on 90% turnout in those demographics, to win without them. Even a minor shift will make a major problem for the Democrats. They would need to extend their fraud efforts to preposterous levels in order to deal with the defectors.

The Democrats might indeed extend fraud to such an obvious level that they can demonstrate no further need for elections ever again.

If so, then everybody will proceed to settle political conflicts by other means.

Really, thoughtful ideas.

And yet there REMAINS a large quantum of surrendercons who'd rather have Bud Light with their whine and cheese, bitch and moan that all is lost, and fantasize about CWII bravely from behind a keyboard. These people would have surrendered to the Germans after they didn't fight fairly at Pearl Harbor.

Let’s win. Who's with me?

[Common Sense 101]

Yeah right vote... give the demented libtard file a good idea of how many votes they will have to manufacture early.

Even libtard scum can do basic math fpor each county: Early voting numbers - registered voter total = total number of people that could potentially vote on Election Day + an additional 15% in fraudulent "voters" to cover. Scum win!

[Roadrunner383]

If early voting is the exact same process as voting on election day, what’s the problem? Early voting doesn’t have to mean mail-in voting, make it in-person.

Only allowing in-person voting on election day gives Dems a chance to jam up voting machines and create chaos (see AZ 2022). With early voting, if there’s an issue voting, just come back the next day.
