The RNC Weaves a Tangled Web, Pushing Early & Mail-In Voting to Its Base, While Litigating and Legislating to Limit It In Swing States
We reported yesterday that GOP state efforts in Florida to discourage voting by mail could also suppress Republican voters otherwise unable to get to the polls. Afraid of losing votes nationally, the Republican National Committee launched its 2024 Bank Your Vote campaign, promoting early voting, including by mail.
Our podcasting host recently made changes which stops us from including our entire script as part of the podcast content. To view the whole script, please go to our website and find today's report.
