Susan, the RNC (and President Trump) have called for doing this, because it helps *our* side just as it helps the other side.

Susan, the RNC (and President Trump) have called for doing this, because it helps *our* side just as it helps the other side. Yes, the other side can guess how many cheat votes they need, but on the Republican side, it gives the party a by-name list of who has and has not yet voted. Then they can organize a more streamlined get-out-the-vote operation, instead of not knowing who to call. The Dems have been doing this for years, and not uncommonly what our side perceives as cheating is just Dems out-organizing us.
Also remember how in 2022 the Maricopa County, Arizona voting machines went down on election day as they were deliberately fed the wrong size paper. This wasn't inadvertent but a coordinated attempt to depress voting day turn out. It cost Kari Lake the election, along with other Republicans.
The Democrat machine is utterly corrupt. They know Republicans vote in person far more than Democrats so they sabotaged the voting machines on election day. They weaponized our own desire for a clean election (i.e. vote in person on election day) as a tool against us..
The only way to fight them is to play the game. We need to diversify our voting methods so it can't be easily manipulated. We need to vote early and ensure with the Registrar it was recorded. If the Dems put drop boxes outside the welfare office, then we need them at evangelical churches, gun ranges, and American Legion posts. Scott Pressler gets this. Ronna McDaniel isn't stupid and she certainly got it too, but refused to do it. That's why she's gone and Scott is in.
Ahh, Thanks for the explanation. I guess that makes sense. I didn't know people went out to find voters that hadn't returned ballots. I've heard a little discussion about this but I haven't had time to understand it all. Your comment will be helpful to more than me, I would think. :)
I've learned a lot in the last several years, by joining with my county Republican Party. I've been a poll watcher, served as an observer for an election recount, serve as a Precinct Committeewoman, and now also a State Committeewoman. The parties can access lists of who has and has not cast a ballot yet, and the earlier people vote, whether by mail (or dropping off one's 'mail-in' ballot in person) or during early voting, the easier it is to focus on the remainder, who may be people who don't always vote.
I remember ‘poll watchers’ during BHO’s first run. Looked like gang bangers with baseball bats in front of polling places. Big intimidation factor even if they just walked around.
Here in CA I signed up for TrackMyBallot. I take it to a good secure location a few days before election day so I get a notice from the registrar that my ballot has been counted. I still wish there was a way to track how my vote was counted, who I voted for. Hoping that it is going in correctly and not being manipulated.

Well, now...see....living in Massachusetts ain't so bad. I don't have to worry about our voting machines malfunctioning!
{But I can't help that sense of despair of my vote not mattering anyhow. But I vote anyway.}
