Republican Strategy Shift on Mail-in Voting

The Republican Party underwent a significant transformation in its approach to mail-in voting, a shift from their stance during the 2020 elections. This change recognized the necessity of adapting to mail-in voting as an essential tool for securing electoral victories. Political operatives noted that the party's ground game became more sophisticated, particularly in key swing states like Pennsylvania, where efforts were mobilized to encourage early and mail-in voting among Republican constituents. The Republican National Committee even implemented a system called 'Swamp the Vote' to promote this engagement, acknowledging that without these adaptations, winning elections would become increasingly difficult.
