Republicans set to push mail ballots, voting methods they previously blasted as recipes for fraud
Republicans at the top of the party want to launch aggressive get-out-the-vote campaigns for 2024 that employ mail voting and ballot harvesting, attempting to match the emphasis on early voting Democrats have used for years to lock in many of their supporters well ahead of Election Day.
