I've been trying to figure out the rational why we are being called upon to vote early. Here is the potential rational as I see it.
Early voting has the benefit of positive publicity before the election can be rigged while also allowing the Trump campaign to know where it needs to focus its attention.
These points are valid but I fear that they provide the cheaters ample time to print off extra ballots. I've heard some say that this level of blatant cheating as seen in 2020 is being mitigated by an over abundance of lawyers at the polling locations. If that's the case then couldn't Kamala's campaign merely use the early polling results to simply import more illegal immigrant voters to the locations where they're believe they're needed most?
That last question begs one more question that I have yet to get an adequate answer from anyone in the know to address my concerns. Do the polling estimates (not the early voting data but the *ESTIMATES*) factor in the illegal voters when referencing their "close election" claims?
If they DO, then all those polling estimates which say that election is SO very close is merely political hackery to legitimize the numbers after illegals have voted.
If they DON'T factor in the illegal voters then I believe this is giving the Trump voter a false sense of security.
There are other shenanigans in play, but I believe the MASSIVE number of illegals given allowance to vote is the democrat's main game plan this election season. I believe Trump has the GENUINE votes to win but to bring this election home he has to make the outcome "too big too rig". Thankfully, it appears (thus far) that he has the numbers to do it.
If so, why vote early. Doesn't that make it easier for Kamala & company to direct the illegal voters? What am I missing?
They waited until the conservative counties tally their votes. Then they figured out how much to steal it by.
I’m glad you posted this, I’ve been wondering about it myself; I agree with your logic.
I’m voting in person on election day. Although I live in a conservative area, I don’t want the election thieves in the rest of the state to know in advance how many ballots they have to manufacture and how many times they have to count them.
The strategy for Republicans was vote on election day 2020 and 2022 and they lost in 2020 and didn’t live up to expectation and lost key races in multiple places in 2022, so the vote on election day strategy in those two elections did not work.
The thought that voting early gives Democrats an idea of how many ballots they need to make up in order to win versus voting on election day doesn’t seem to hold water based on the results of 2020 and 2022.
Kari Lake is a perfect example, by all accounts she should have won in 2022, but polling places in key Red Areas were down and she lost who knows how many votes because of this.
Voting early may not make a difference but the strategy in 2020 and 2022 didn’t work so a different strategy seems to be warranted.
Get the high-propensity voters to the polls now, concentrate on turning out the low-propensity voters on Election Day.
“Voting early may not make a difference but the strategy in 2020 and 2022 didn’t work so a different strategy seems to be warranted.”
Right. Voting early at least gives you peace of mind that you got it done. I stood in line for over two hours to vote for Trump and the GOP on Monday. Wanted to be shock-sure my vote got in there, since there is no telling what “surprises” the radical left may have planned.... considering that it’s not going well for them. Expect anything.
The long-term strategy for Republicans needs to be an all-out effort to clean up the voter rolls.
Michigan is a prime example; reports I’ve read say the number of voters on the rolls exceeds the population of the state by approximately 400,000, that is unacceptable and against the law and the GOP needs to file one lawsuit after another to get this cleaned up regardless of the outcome of the election, otherwise the GOP very little chance to win elections in Michigan regardless of when they vote.
“The long-term strategy for Republicans needs to be an all-out effort to clean up the voter rolls.”
I totally agree. However, getting the corrupt cretins to do what is a no-brainer solution to combat voter and election fraud has been a nearly impossible task. Hope springs that Trump will win and will have a workable Congress to get things done that might rectify those issues.
Our main and first priority will be to close the border and start round ups and deportations. You already know how the rabid left will shriek and squeal at just that one agenda item. Fixing what the left has deliberately broken will take time and may not even be possible, at this point. But we have to try.
Early voting is usually in a different place then your normal voting place, check on the interweb.
The great thing about cleaning up the voter rolls is that it can be done thru local and state initiatives, if you wait for the RNC to do anything you will be disappointed because they will do nothing.
If you look at fraudulent 400,000 people on the Michigan voter rolls, I’d bet money they are heavily concentrated in 3-4 deep blue counties around the major cities like Detroit, Flint, etc.
Since voter rolls can be obtained by the public, small citizen groups can pool their resources and prove who is fraudulently on the voter rolls.
In the vast majority of places, no one knows how you vote. Most of us do not live in Philly or Atlanta, and the amount of cheating in most places is about zero.
It might be possible to generate 10-20,000 fake ballots, but even that is tough in most states.
Trump didn’t lose Arizona in 2020 due to fraud. He lost it due to COVID and to a significant minority of Mormon voters who vote Republican usually - but who hate Trump. Along with a significant minority of Republicans in Maricopa County who LOVE cheap labor and don’t care about America.
COVID isn’t a problem this year and many of those defectors have had to live with the problems their stupidity bought us. They will vote R this year.
“Since voter rolls can be obtained by the public, small citizen groups can pool their resources and prove who is fraudulently on the voter rolls.”
Let’s hope (and pray) that the GOP can get control of Congress so they can maybe enact some regulations on voter rolls clean-up. It is disenfranchising voters nationally by allowing certain states or counties to do this. Everyone has “standing” on this matter.
The laws to clean up voter rolls are already in place, both federally and in every state, the laws are being ignored, that’s why small citizen groups with just a little funding can initiate the lawsuits to clean up the system and not rely on the national GOP which has proven to be worthless in this area.
I will vote in-person on Election Day, as always.
This advice to vote early is not directed at high propensity voters like you and me, who always vote on Election Day without fail.
It is directed at people with a shorter attention span, whose enthusiasm to vote may be short-lived or sporadic - and when Election Day arrives they can’t be counted on to vote.
I had no idea such people existed - I just can’t imagine failing to vote.
But Charlie Kirk and others have convinced me that a surprisingly high percent of Trump supporters will fail to vote if they are not let by the nose.
Nobody needs to make sure I vote - but unfortunately, there are people who won’t vote if left to their own devices. They need somebody to lead them by the hand. These are the people who should vote early rather than wait until Election Day.
The rats in Seattle definitely find out how many votes are needed before they submit their counts...
In Washington state at least I can log in to make sure they counted my ballot. Not that I have ever done that. This year I will. I’m not sure if it will tell me how I voted. It should, but....
Crises of some type keeping our voters from getting to the polls day of, with their votes actually being counted.
They’re up to printing ridiculous numbers of ballots at this point.
Two reasons
Make sure your vote counts, just in case you get sick or indisposed, or just fed up with the line at election day.
Last election in AZ the machines malfunctioned and some people left in disgust.
Make the ballot chasing easier.
There is a record when you voted. They mark you off and stop pestering you. Otherwise they will contact you to try to convince you to vote.
The more people vote early, the less work for the ballot chasers.
The Republicans are basically trying to implement Democratic methods of ballot chasing, which proved successful in several elections.
Elections are becoming big business, big operations and big science. Kind of disgusting, but the Dems started it.
I do not like it, but, I guess, that’s what we have to do.
Bongino's reasoning for voting early is to prevent election day screw ups at polling stations. There were wide spread reports of equipment not working, running out of paper ballots and etc in Arizona in recent elections. If there is a delay opening the polls or there are long lines, voters may just blow it off..
I have faith in our voting process here in NC. We use paper ballots, have to show ID and the machines used are ballot counters only, not tied to the web. Those counters are the weakest link in the system, I can concede. But they do read and store the actual ballot inside.
There are too many things that can happen to prevent one from voting on election day. Bad weather, sickness, a death in the family, poll screw-ups of many kinds [which seem to be a favorite of our dumblecrat brethren] just to name a few.
We early voted and were proud to do so. While I see the points against it, I think there are more positives than negatives.
NC is mentioned. And some of those Labour apparatchiks are scheduled to be in NC, too.
