Long time trends may be reversing course when it comes to early voting and vote by mail, as they’ve traditionally favored Democrats, but following a consistent push from the Trump campaign, early voting is favoring Republicans by a significant margin.
Trump has been championing early voting for over a year, asking his supporters to take advantage of the opportunity.
The Daily Caller reports:
Republicans are voting by mail or returning their ballots early at a two-to-one margin over Democrats, though Democrats outpaced Republicans with early voting in 2020, Hillyard said on “Jose-Diaz Balart Reports.” Not a single voter lining up at the polling locations in Mohave County openly said they were voting for Harris, the NBC correspondent added.
Hillyard explained, “One week into early voting, we have seen Republican voters turn their ballots back in by mail or by coming to early voting locations by a nearly 2-1 margin over Democrats. It was flip that in 2020, when Democrats one week in were outpacing Republicans 2-1. A large part of that has to do with Donald Trump this time around urging folks to vote by mail or do early voting.
Early voting is also being utilized at much lower rates than it was in 2020, following the COVID 19 pandemic.
Breitbart News reports:
According to Couvillon, 4.2 million Americans have already voted as of Thursday — down 45 percent from the same period during President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump’s showdown.
The requests for mail-in ballots also dropped significantly, with Couvillon’s data showing that they are down by 58 percent from 2020 in states that do not automatically mail ballots to voters.
Hillyard continued, “We went to a couple early voting locations, and we saw lengthy lines during the lunch hour. Thirty people waiting in line, and we should note, we did not find a single person who audibly would tell us that they voted for Kamala Harris. These were Trump supporters getting out to vote early in the all-important Mohave County.”
The Daily Caller continues:
Trump is currently ahead in Arizona, 49% to 47%, according to The New York Times. President Joe Biden narrowly won the state in 2020 by less than one point, 49.4% to 49.1%, while the former president won the state against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 49.5% to 45.4% in 2016.
In a video recorded for the Republican National Committee promoting early voting, Trump said, “This must change for us to win in 2024. We may not like the current system, but we need to master the rules and beat the Democrats at their own game, and then we can make our own rules. Republicans must get tougher and fight harder to cast our votes and get our ballots turned in earlier so Democrats can’t rig the polls against us on election day. We cannot let that happen. They rigged the election in 2020—we cannot let that happen in 2024.”
That’s all the Dummyrats have left to campaign : 1. Hate Trump; 2.Vote faudulently when you can get away with it; 3. Have an abortion any old time just to get rid of an unwanted fetus. 4. Buy an impractical electric vehicle to combat climate global warming when the climate today is much colder than it was at the time of Christ. Whew!!
