RIP RNC

"The Republican National Committee (RNC) has made a significant pivot away from promoting mail-in voting, a strategy that was once seen as critical to its electoral success. This move underscores the enduring influence of former President Donald Trump on the party’s approach to elections and reflects a broader strategy to prioritize legal challenges to voting systems."

"In a step that aligns with Trump’s persistent and baseless claims that mail-in voting leads to widespread fraud, the RNC is terminating its “Bank Your Vote” program. This initiative was designed to encourage Republicans to vote early by mail, a tactic historically utilized by voters across the political spectrum, including those in the military or living abroad."

"Trump’s allegations have been disputed by numerous studies and state officials, which found that mail-in voting does not favor any political party and is secure. Despite this evidence, Trump’s rhetoric has had a lasting impact on Republican voters’ attitudes towards mail-in voting, with only 28% of Republicans supporting no-excuse mail-in voting in a recent poll."

"The Republican leadership’s conflicting messages on mail-in voting have led to a complex and often contradictory stance on the issue. While the party has historically capitalized on mail-in voting, Trump’s rhetoric has caused a rift that the party has struggled to mend. This has left the GOP grappling with a self-imposed dilemma: how to mobilize its base and maximize turnout without embracing a voting method that its most prominent figurehead has repeatedly and publicly undermined."

"Nothing screams “We can’t win a majority of voters fairly” like prioritizing legal attacks on voting rights. But that’s precisely what the Trump-branded RNC is preparing to do. Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law and the current RNC co-chair, claimed “massive resources” will go to its so-called election integrity division."

It'll be interesting to see who wins the argument. Trump or Whatley.

There is only one reason to not push for in person voting laws.

Cheating

There are instances where MAIL IN voting should be allowed but only in cases of extreme need. Mail in voting should never be allowed as a convenience.

Making Election Day a national holiday is a very sound idea.

I agree should be a national holiday.

You can't require most to do in person voting. Everyone doesn't have transportation to get to the polls. 

No transportation is kind of a BS excuse. There are polling places everywhere. If they can’t get to the polls a politician will usually always have shuttles running.

how about mail in for those who are over 65, or disabled, or lack transportation. Everyone else votes in person. 

Several states already do all elections by mail in voting and none of states results were questioned by either candidate for President. Even if you get rid of most mail in voting, the loser will always find something to complain about. I believe most of Trump's complaints except Georgia were regarding the voting machines and not the mail in ballots. So, they will just substitute another conspiracy theory for losing.
