Republicans campaigning on behalf of former President Donald Trump are actively encouraging voters in Michigan to take advantage of early and mail-in voting. Absentee ballots have begun to be sent to voters in the state this week, prompting a push from GOP leaders to ensure that every vote counts.
Michigan House GOP Leader emphasized the importance of voting early and absentee during a recent Team Trump bus tour stop. He urged voters to track their votes to guarantee their voices are heard in the upcoming election. The leader also expressed optimism about Trump's performance in key battleground states, suggesting an improvement over the 2016 and 2020 elections.
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who joined the campaign tour, voiced his support for voting by mail. He stressed the significance of early voting to secure a strong voter turnout and emphasized the need to focus resources on engaging less frequent voters who are still open to persuasion.
Despite previous claims by Trump regarding mail-in voting leading to election fraud, the campaign has launched a program to promote absentee, mail-in, and early in-person voting. This initiative marks a shift in strategy, as Trump has historically criticized these voting methods while perpetuating unfounded allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
