Glenn Youngkin Is Right: It's Time for Republicans to Utilize Early and Absentee Voting

By Joe Cunningham

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is launching a new effort to boost GOP turnout in early and absentee voting in an attempt to overcome the party base’s hesitation to adopt voting practices that are rife for exploitation.

Youngkin’s message comes in the form of an ad paid for by the Republican Party of Virginia, which proved in 2021 to be one of the most successful state-level party machines after the 2020 presidential election.

“We can’t go into our elections down thousands of votes,” Youngkin says in the ad. “And you can secure your vote before Election Day.”

The new party initiative, called “Secure Your Vote Virginia,” is the latest in a growing trend of Republicans acknowledging that the party is hurting itself by not buying into the effort to use early and absentee voting to its fullest. Frequent questions and complaints about voting outside of Election Day ahead of the 2020 election appear to have played a role in the downfall of President Donald Trump, as well as Republicans like Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, as tens of thousands of registered voters did not show up to vote. Rural Republicans, in particular, simply did not vote in 2020.

But Youngkin is working with his political action committee and other groups to turn that mentality around.

Republicans pushing for their voters to sign on to efforts to vote early either in-person or through absentee voting are making the correct assessment in the wake of 2020 and 2022. Democrats have been able to utilize those efforts to get an early start, while Republicans who rely on in-person voting on Election Day fall victim to voter procrastination or voter depression when they see the advantage in the voting numbers ahead of election day.

But consider states like Florida, where Republicans took part in early voting in higher than normal numbers, helping politicians like Gov. Ron DeSantis secure major wins.

Republicans again missing the point. You're not going to win chasing ballots when Rats stuff the boxes with ballots of imaginary voters who may or may not even be on voter registration lists.

Until you stop the fake voting, you are nowhere.

Maybe states should make election recounts and audits standard operating proceedure so submitted ballots can be reconciled with voter rolls.

Vulcan thunders:
"Until you stop the fake voting, you are nowhere."

Of course you're right.

But there will still be those naive Republicans (including some right here) who believe that the object of absentee ballots, harvesting, and mail-in voting can be picked up on by our side to win elections. Fairly.

The reality is that these are "cheating tools" devised by the leftist-communists for the purpose of "stealing in plain sight".

They are all part of The Party's "election apparatus" -- some of which exists below ground (the part that actually manufactures ballots), and other parts that are purposely built "above-ground" (such as ballot harvesting boxes, etc.)

These components combine to become The Party's machinery to victory.
They will be employed with full force in "the states that matter" in 2024.

All of you trumpkins need to wait until 2 minutes before the polls close in the primaries.  It’s the only way you can be sure your votes are counted properly.  Pass it along.
