Ballot Chasing Operations Led by Turning Point Action Made Difference in 2024
Breitbart ^ | 11/12/2024 | Matthew Boyle

Turning Point Action’s plans to chase ballots in key swing states seem to have made the difference in helping put former President Donald Trump, now again the President-elect, over the top in his comeback bid for the White House.

Charlie Kirk, Turning Point’s top activist, announced on social media in the aftermath of the election the numbers of ballots the organization chased in key battleground states of Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada, helping contribute to flipping each state.

While many in media scoffed at outside groups’ efforts to handle most of the ground game efforts for Republicans, Breitbart News regularly covered Turning Point Action’s efforts in in-depth pieces throughout the year. One key article that featured an interview with Turning Point’s Tyler Bowyer laid out how Bowyer was comparing the effort to the famous baseball story of “Moneyball” where statistics plus performance drove results.

I sent some money to them this year. It’s a good placement of what money you have as it may be more effective than donations to candidates.

AMEN. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops! Kirk and Presler may have saved our country.

God bless both Charlie Kirk and Scott Presler, and all of their volunteers who helped make this great victory happen.

Great point! I know Charlie’s organization is Turning Point USA, but what is the name of Scott Presler’s?

Charlie and his team did a great job. And just to think that Rush Limbaugh donated 1 million to the group before he died. But Rush did not want people to know about it.

Oh wow. God bless our El Rushbo. I miss him *so* much.

Yes! I was going to mention NJ in one of my posts here. I didn't realize Trump came close in IL, too.

Awesome. I sent each a few bucks. TV ads are necessary, but you need the grunt work on the ground to win. For example, somebody sent my Republican buddy a text a week before registration closed, telling him he wasn’t registered. He had moved, and not re-registered. Without that text, he would not have been able to vote. It prodded him to check and ultimately update his registration.

If you want to hear it then go to the 11 hour 5 minute part of the video and listen for a couple of minutes.

Kirk also did a tremendous job on TikTok. His videos reached tens of millions of viewers. Some videos in the 50-60 million range each.

Yes. It is the new counter-culture. I was surprised that Gen X broke 55-45 for Trump.

They deserve the praise Lara Trump has been heaping on them this week. The videos of Kirk speaking with college students, and actually changing minds by providing them factual information, are a joy to watch.
