“Democrats vote for weeks and Republicans vote for 12 hours."

“Democrats vote for weeks and Republicans vote for 12 hours."

The host of Human Events with Jack Posobiec recently discussed the news that Turning Point Action had pledged $5 million to go toward ballot chasing efforts in Wisconsin, collaborating with Republican Scott Presler, known best for his grassroots efforts. The purpose of the initiative is to encourage GOP voters to turn out early for the presidential election in 2024.

Posobiec noted that a lot of credit had to be given to Presler, saying that he has been the one to continue beating the drum on the issue of early voting, adding that he was sometimes “the only [one] out there in the wilderness reminding people about these special elections, these registrations.” Posobiec mentioned that these strategies are even now evident in mainstream political candidates. 

Presler mentioned that he had been confirmed to speak at the Turning Point Action Conference on July 15 in West Palm Beach. He said that the collaboration with Turning Point Action “is all about actually [getting] boots on the ground” and “getting out the vote.” He went on to mention that it will be important for Republicans to invest resources in states such as Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, and that part of the initiative has to be about registering “new Republican voters.”

Presler said that he had recently seen a Wisconsin statistic that suggested about 40 percent of hunters and Second Amendment voters were not even registered to vote. Along with getting these voters registered, he also suggested that the effort needs to work to pull unaffiliated voters into the Republican fold, specifically mentioning voters in North Carolina and Arizona. 

There was also mention of what is known as “low propensity Republicans,” referring to those who typically mail in their ballot. Presler added: “If they’re not going in-person, well, let’s have their ballots shipped to them. Let’s do ballot chasing and make sure that that paper ballot is locked in.” A contingent of voters often ignored are the Amish communities in states such as Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Presler noted that if the 80,000 Amish in Pennsylvania had turned out to vote in the last election, the results would have been flipped in the state.

Presler made an important distinction between Democrats and Republicans, saying that “Democrats vote for weeks and Republicans vote for 12 hours,” seeming to suggest that there needs to be a bigger emphasis on voting in the year leading up to the presidential election instead of waiting until the election day. 

Posobiec reiterated the importance of educating people about the importance of early voting, which includes literally showing people how to do it. And the $5 million collaboration between Turning Point Action and Presler has the potential to go a long way in the Republican effort to win back the White House in 2024.
