Republicans apparently learned very little from the 2020 election which turned voting and vote counting into a chaotic multi-week affair, all to the great advantage of Democrats.
After finding their party blown out of the water by early votes and mail-in ballots, both vastly expanded to accommodate the pandemic hysteria, elected GOP leaders seem to have thought to themselves, “Well, better luck next time!”And here we are. In an election year that should have seen major gains for Republicans across the board, the party failed to take the Senate, could still (a week after Election Day) fail to secure the House,

This is still fighting the last war. I guarantee you that liberals are already anticipating conservative moves and will have some new "ballot accumulating" strategy ready for 2024.

If you can't beat 'em - join 'em. I am not sure we have the stomach to commit fraud to the extent the Dims seemingly do routinely but we should embrace the ballot harvesting schemes until we can ban such - PERMANENTLY.

Ya mean cheat because the other side cheats big time and by doing that we will never ever have an election worth a damn? OR election day ( not season ) with paper ballots and actual accountability.

Learn the new method of getting ballots rather than get out the vote. Just do it better than Democrats.

We have to take advantage of the rules in place. Doing nothing is only costing Republicans elections.

The Republican party is so over. I hope Trump announces a new party. Except for Trump, I don't think I can find my way to vote for any R. They've all become turncoats. Can't vote for a D either, so I will write in Trump's name on every ballot in every election.

As an unpaid volunteer at polling stations it's clear to me that multi-day voting aids cheating for the simple reason that volunteers are not available 24/7. After the 3rd or 4th day the number of volunteers drops and there are large gaps in time where there are no monitors. The only solution to this is to pay the monitors out of campaign cash.
Mail-in ballots should only be on request for cause, and limited to 2% of the total registered voters.

#7,. that's music to the Democrat party ears, and likely counting on many more like you to help them win easier.
What I'd like to see is the registration stop the same day as candidates have to file to run for office.
Will enable Registrar of Voters to ensure the ballots on file are complete and accurate before ballots are mailed, or issued.
Let all other registration applications be provisional to ensure they can't verify them.
Next, a public announcement of how many people are registered to vote should be made no later than 30 days prior to ballots being mailed or issued.
Have a number on each ballot that totals that number (keeps from having unlimited possibilities)
All drop boxes should be set up with same technology as an ATM machine (existing technology), which scans the ballot, has video cameras, and only allows 1 ballot at a time to be deposited.
These would be common sense things that would help tighten up chain of custody concerns.

There is not one good reason for drop boxes for votes. Voting places are open from 6:30 am until 7:30 pm. If a person cannot vote on Election Day then there is absentee ballots. Otherwise there is no reason to not vote on Election Day. Don’t need an election season!
One vote per person. All the rest, as same day resignation, ballots not votes, ballot boxes , late ballot arrivals is just cheating. And that’s why the Dems push these illegal voting tactics

Don't forget the voting machines, #10. Look what just happened in Arizona.

Does The Federlist realize republicans received 6 million more votes than the dems???? It appears the problem is with the votes... not the voters.

No more of this! They originally used "racism," especially referencing the Democrats own "Jim Crow" laws, to get election rules liberalized. They now want to adopt on-line voting ('safe' and 'secure', of course!) for anyone residing in the U.S., even Convicts in prisons.
Wimpy, corrupt, Republicans are co-conspirators to this gradual take-over of the United States by these leftist Communists.
We have ONE DAY in the United States of America for voting - just 24 hours, that's IT!

Tighten up the rules in States where it can be done, and then work within the rules to do what it takes. So called harvesting is not illegal if the law says you can do it. Telling voters to just vote is great as far as it goes, but there must be more.
