Today, I'd like to discuss the Republican party's concentration on "Vote harvesting," "Chasing ballots," "Banking votes," and what it means for the 2024 elections.
For reference: vote harvesting - collecting and voting ballots that are not yours; long-running practice by the DNC, now the RNC is following suit.
Chasing ballots - identifying households where registered voters have not yet voted and monitoring them, "Chasing" them until they vote.
Banking votes - a new term conceived by the RNC, calling on Republicans to commit to vote early or by mail, thereby "Banking" votes before election day.
The RNC asks all voters to pledge to "Bank your vote with the RNC". I am regularly asked what I think about the Republicans' new "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality.
Each is preparing its path for American voters to follow, from the RNC's Bank Your Vote to the DNC's Everybody Votes, hoping we are all sufficiently scared or angry enough not to notice that freedom of the individual cannot possibly survive the normalization of such mass-formation driven vote control tactics.
Every state manages the process differently; you can find your state’s voter registration process here.
