For at least three years, many Republicans have been outspoken in their opposition to mail-in voting. More recently, however, some Republicans are getting on board with early voting, which in most states includes mail-in voting. This is good news for supporters of the GOP.
For at least three years, many Republicans have been outspoken in their opposition to mail-in voting. More recently, however, some Republicans are getting on board with early voting, which in most states includes mail-in voting. This is good news for supporters of the GOP.
The reason for the increase in early voting is straightforward. Early voting is far more convenient for busy people who would otherwise have to make time to vote amid work and family obligations and instead lets them participate at their convenience. It also removes millions of voters from the Election Day rush, a boon for Election Day voters, who benefit from shorter lines.
Even as most Republican voters support access to early voting, the perception that Democrats benefit more from early voting prevails. But the research and recent election results suggest otherwise. Indeed, strong Republican performances in recent elections have shown that access to early voting does not create a barrier to victory. In Virginia, Youngkin flipped the state red in 2021 in the first election cycle after the state expanded the early voting period and removed barriers to voting absentee. Similarly, in 2022, Gov. Ron DeSantis overwhelmingly won his reelection campaign in a state where roughly two-thirds of voters cast their ballots before Election Day.
