Conservatives Fed Up With Democrats’ Get-Out-The-Vote Machine Build Their Own In Battleground States
The Federalist ^ | March 08, 2024 | M. D. Kittle

The commitment to GOTV efforts has to be year-round, and conservative ground game leaders are finally waking up to that fact.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more energetic group of go-getters than the army of vote wranglers in the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition. SLSV, which bills itself as the “national hub & largest nonpartisan network in the country dedicated to increasing student voter participation,” is definitely dedicated. 

But the coalition, which is at best “nonpartisan” in name only, is just one of a litany of leftist groups tirelessly and cooperatively working around the nation, particularly in the election-deciding battleground states, to elect Democrats. 

The mission-focused group is but one working example of why the left is a well-oiled machine in turning out votes, especially among younger voters. But conservatives are waking up and pushing back, using some of the same get-out-the-vote (GOTV) strategies and tactics that Democrats have so effectively employed to win.  

SLSV’s monthly meeting in February featured Amanda Fuchs Miller, deputy assistant secretary in the Office of Postsecondary Education at the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). The bureaucrat gave the clubhouse gang a rundown of DOE’s legally suspect plan to use federal work-study program funds to pay college students to register their peers and work at the polls. It’s all part of the Bidenbucks plan, the Biden administration’s sweeping get-out-the-vote campaign using federal agencies and liberal groups to target Democrat-leaning voters ahead of November’s presidential election. 

Yet there was so much more to the coalition’s February Zoom call: a presentation on the output of SLSV’s bee-busy working groups, an update on upcoming Action Plan Workshops,..

I asked to have it pulled. You beat me by 90 seconds. I searched, but evidently yours wasn’t up yet.

Nah, wasn’t mine. I’ve had this happen to me more than once, sometimes as little as a second apart.

It is a significant problem that most conservatives only want to be active on election day, but then want to be inactive for the next 729 days.

The math just doesn’t work. Apathy is a failed ideology.

I find it hard to believe that this will help unless the republicans are willing to commit fraud like the democrats do.

And it would be a foolish mistake to do as they do. And only democrats can get away with it.

There is no such thing as nonpartisan. You either believe one way or you don’t.

I wish you could just go in and vote on Election Day, but the old precincts are gone and you have to find a Voting Center or dropbox. Nearest to me was more than two miles. I used to walk down the street.

Trump is good at the big picture. MAGA and all that. But he sucks at organization.

The fortunate thing is that Trump put in Whatley as the real head of the RNC. Whatley has run the R party in NC the past few years - he got a veto proof R margin in both houses of the NC Legislature, turned the State Supreme Court from 6-1 far left to 5-2 R, and got redistricting approved which will give the Rs 4 new House seats. He also turned out 790,000 Trump voters in last week’s primary.

North Carolina is like mini Florida. Good bones there. Some conservatives moving to North Carolina to retire even though you have liberals moving to Raleigh.

I think this election we will see if North Carolina remains a battleground state or not.

Unless the pubs are willing to stuff the ballot boxes with phony ballots, they never beat the rats.
