As Democrats continue to outperform us in key elections (see: 2022 midterms, 2020 presidential election), the Republican Party is faced with two options. One, keep blaming every loss on election fraud — I’m not saying it doesn’t exist — or, two, learn how to beat the Democrats at their own game.
Here’s the thing. The Democrats now play an Election Season game, while the Republicans largely rely on the traditional Election Day game. I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer — but I’m not the dullest one, either. So it’s become obvious to me that the GOP must step up its own election season game — and win. Then, assuming adequate numbers in state legislatures, if Republicans want to limit early voting and impose other restrictions, they’ll be in a position to do.
In other words, rather than simply continuing to moan about “stolen” elections — an effort which, to my knowledge, has changed the results of zero elections — Republicans must first learn to beat the Democrats at their own game and then change the rules if they choose to do so.
One popular Republican governor believes exactly the same thing.
As my colleague Joe Cunningham reported in early July, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin launched an initiative to boost early Republican turnout in early and absentee voting; two efforts that not only continue to work well for the Democrat Party but have also been effective in putting Republican candidates behind the eight ball in many races before a majority of Republican voters even cast their votes.
Youngkin said, in an extremely well-done ad:
We can’t go into our elections down thousands of votes. And you can secure your vote before Election Day. Join the permanent absentee list and make a plan to vote early — by mail or in person. … It’s time to go to work.
There should be no early voting and no mail in ballots. The voting facilities are open long enough for anyone to vote, no matter what shift you are working.
Make some DINOS just like the RINOS !!!!!
