Deep dives
Introduction to Ballot Chasing in Pennsylvania
Cliff Maloney discusses the innovative 'PA Chase,' a campaign aimed at increasing Republican voter turnout in Pennsylvania by going door-to-door to engage low-propensity voters. This initiative arose partly in response to the significant mail-in voting changes implemented during COVID-19, which Republicans had not effectively utilized. Maloney emphasizes the stark reality from the 2020 elections, where a significant number of Republican-registered voters failed to return their mail-in ballots, a factor he believes heavily influenced the election outcomes. He views this project as crucial for maximizing Republican votes in a state that may prove decisive in the upcoming elections.
