Republicans Shift Strategy To Chase Votes, Embrace Mail-In Ballots

A voter, left, carries her ballot to the counting machine after voting at a polling station Tuesday Nov. 7, 2023, in Richmond, Va.

Following the 2020 election cycle, Republicans have taken note of a crucial lesson: the importance of chasing votes rather than just voters. This shift in strategy was highlighted by Sean Logue, the Washington County GOP chair in Pennsylvania, who emphasized the distinction between chasing voters and chasing votes.

Logue pointed out that while Republicans traditionally focused on appealing to specific voter demographics, Democrats were more successful in targeting individual votes. This realization has prompted Republicans to adopt a new approach aimed at securing a broader base of support.

The shift towards chasing votes signifies a strategic pivot for the Republican Party, as they seek to broaden their appeal and engage with a wider range of voters. By learning from the tactics employed by Democrats, Republicans are aiming to enhance their electoral prospects and secure a stronger foothold in future elections.
