“To win close elections, we need to close the gap on pre-Election Day voting,” Ronna McDaniel, the RNC chair, said. GOP leaders embrace early voting, but will their base get on board?:
The Mecklenburg County Board of Elections meets to review and count provisional and absentee ballots, in Charlotte, N.C., on Nov. 6, 2020.
The reversal is a concession to math and the realities of the moment, as the popularity of mail-in voting shows few signs of receding, three years after the pandemic began and accelerated its use. It also is a grudging recognition that Republicans have failed to gain traction with their baseless claims that mail voting compromises election integrity.
“It’s going to be corrupt, whether it’s — I would never say this about our mailmen because we love our mailmen — but whether it’s the mailmen or all the many people who touch those ballots,” he said. “They find them in rivers. They find them in streams. They find them all over the place. Many people got many ballots.”
Just days after entering the 2024 presidential race, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, Trump’s chief GOP rival, said Republicans had hurt themselves in 2020 with their assault on absentee voting. Lindell also renewed calls for elections to be conducted entirely using paper ballots that would be counted by hand, not electronic tabulators.
Even so, Republican state lawmakers and governors have continued to press for legislation that makes it harder to vote by mail, to mixed results.
