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

The constitution leaves it to each state to decide voting rules

[srmanuel]

In addition to not losing any current Red States, a Republican must win Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

After the electoral college was updated after the most recent census, Trump would have won 235 votes instead of 232 he did in 2020, Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin add up to 37 votes, so if a Republican wins those 3 states, they become POTUS.

Both are states Republicans win elections and win a lot, they do have flaky election rules, voting early is imperative, to avoid things like Arizona voting machines not working on election day.

Republicans need a coordinated ground game to go door to door and urge people to mail in their votes, especially in Red Areas.

Two states where Republicans can win under the right circumstances, Nevada which just elected a Republican Governor and Virginia where Glenn Younkin won and is doing really well.

Nevada currently has 6 electoral college votes and Virginia has 13.

A Republican can win the 2024 Presidential election, it’s not easy, that is why having a unified Republican Party is absolutely vital to have any chance.

The Mom & Dad only voted three times at the polls when I was growing up. Dad happened to be stationed in NC for three years, where they were residents.

‘early voting is fraudulent voting...’

nonsense; if the parties participating in the early voting are treated the same, in what way would it be fraudulent...?

are the pubbies being turned away at the early voting precincts...? if not, there is nothing stopping them from doing what they need to do to win, and there is nothing fraudulent going on...

[Nifster]

In Georgia they are. You have to present a picture ID

That GOP woman, Rona McDaniel, said we should do early voting so the GOP has “banked” votes before election day. Is she right?

If there are “x” number of voters supporting a Republican candidate somewhere, does it matter if they vote early, vote by mail, or vote on election day? The candidate should still have the same vote total no matter how a voter casts his ballot.

[Fledermaus]

I vote early. Especially since my TN county opened voting places to anyone regardless of precincts. Lines that were once 10 to 20 mins are now hours.

So I early vote at a bigger venue. Still have to show ID and the computer pulls up my districts.

"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."

This is a brilliant and easily doable strategy. It will work like a charm. Show the Donk Party "men" as mincing gays, confused, flabby and infantile beta boys and cross-dressing, simpering weirdos. Show Repub men as traditional, normal, hardworking guys.

It's a winning strategy. Paunchy, box wine-drinking, Xanax-popping suburban women aren't going to vote for Repubs any more, so try to corner mens' votes instead.

Shhhh. We’re busy thinking up childish nicknames.

Of course it matters, all early votes are tabulated before election day, which gives them a ballpark idea of how many extra votes they need to manufacture, which are then inserted into the system on election day when the counting has to magically stop for an unknown reason. Then the extra manufactured votes magically put the demonrat ahead in a matter of seconds when Counting has already been halted. Or they continue counting manufactured mail in votes for 2 weeks afterwards until they find enough to win.

Election Day in person voting, Mandatory ID, All Paper Ballots, NO COMPUTERS

[Vaquero]

No. BLOCK…..early voting

[digger48]

I do too

But my county adopted County Wide Voting in 2022, forcing everyone into 6 polling sites instead of the dozen+ well-run precincts we had

It was a schitt-show, with people racing across the county to find a polling place that wasn’t overflowing

Took me over an hour and a half in line when in the past it too 15-20 minutes, tops

I’ve only voted early once in my life, and that was because I wanted to get the smell of Romney out of my system early for having to cast that ballot

I physically can’t stand in a line like that. Sitting on the bumper of a firetruck don’t cut it.

Did anyone wonder how Florida counted 7.5 million votes and had everything certified and reported before midnight on election day in 2022 and even the Democrats who got their butt kicked in Florida did not complain.

Every state should be like Florida. There should be one drop box in each county. If you want to mail in your vote, you have to drop it off at the drop box at the board of elections. Otherwise, you have to vote in person.

Husband and I routinely early vote. The first day . Have for years. It is very well supervised and our experience is that it shortens the lines on election day and is less harried. Our polling place is clean, well managed with plenty of staff to handle sign in, and verification. We also note that at our place, there are at least four big guys circulating and noticeably keeping an eye on the whole process, indoors and out. Thing is, the cheating and stealing of votes does not emanate inside if that part is well guarded. The cheating comes from commie dems who will go to any lengths to steal an election that they cannot win honestly.

[FreedBird]

Never any punishment for cheating, so cheating will continue.

[no-to-illegals]

Early votes make no difference except to give democrats an early estimate of how many votes needed to win …..

[mountainlion]

Early voting gives advantage to the deep state.

[USCG SimTech]

Republicans must cheat harder and better than they way the Democrats have been cheating elections since the JFK stolen election.

[Maskot]

Right? Early voting = early stealing by democrats.

[Maskot]

Yay you! Your vote NEVER counts
