As the election draws near, Republicans have become obsessed with the idea that they need programs to chase ballots, harvest ballots, vote early, and do mass voter registrations. None of these are bad ideas, and I fully endorse organizations doing anything to increase Republican turnout, even if it’s by a point. Yet I want to clarify that’s not why Republicans lost the last few elections, especially the 2022 midterms.
Believe it or not, Democrats had a terrible turnout operation in the last election.
