Trump's Attacks on Early Voting Worry Some in GOP Over Turnout

[RandySF]

When Donald Trump attacked early voting in New Hampshire Saturday, he was speaking to an audience who was excited to hear the message. Others aren’t so sure.

Republican officials in the state, one of only four that don’t offer early in-person voting, applauded after Trump lamented its expansion since 2020, vowing that “someday” the US would “be back to doing it the way it’s supposed to be: one-day voting.”

But everywhere else in Trump’s 2024 campaign travels, Republicans are more wary. They worry that his attacks might persuade GOP voters to avoid early in-person voting, hampering turnout in general elections, and leaving the party more vulnerable to Election Day snafus like those in Arizona and Pennsylvania last November.

“When you stick all of your eggs in the basket of in-person voting on a single day, you set yourself up for problems,” said Republican strategist Ford O’Connell.

1. Not worried enough to go on tv and call for his arrest for any of the thousand crimes

I watched him commit in public.

It’s like reality tv - wrecking democracy, insurrection edition.
