Glenn Youngkin Urges Republicans to Embrace\u200d Early \u2062Voting<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) made a\u200d plea to Republicans on Sunday,\u200d urging them to support early and absentee voting initiatives in order to win state and federal elections in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In an op-ed penned \u2062for USA Today, \u2062he emphasized that Republicans &#8220;must\u2063 use every tool at our disposal to win.&#8221; The governor noted that Virginia\u200d did this in 2021 when he was elected. He further pointed to Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) as an example in 2022.<\/p>\n<h3>Virginia Sets an Example<\/h3>\n<p>Virginia is\u2063 the latest example of Republicans \u200bcoming around to the idea of early voting and using it to their advantage. Last month, \u2063Youngkin announced the launch of\u2062 <strong>Secure Your Vote\u200c Virginia<\/strong>, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youngkin-urges-gop-to-embrace-early-voting-to-beat-democrats-at-their-own-game\/\" title=\"Youngkin urges GOP to adopt early voting to outsmart Democrats in their own strategy.\">online \u2062portal providing voters<\/a> with the resources to\u200d vote early and absentee.<\/p>\n<p>In the op-ed, Youngkin claimed that in Virginia, &#8220;Republicans have an opportunity to cement \u200bour majority in the House,\u2064 flip the Senate and take Virginia to the next level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He explained that &#8220;Democrats put these rules in place while in control of Virginia\u2019s government and have used these rules to their advantage by vastly outpacing \u2063Republicans in early and absentee voting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to\u2063 the governor,\u200b &#8220;We can either\u2062 continue complaining, or we can recognize reality, beat\u200d the left\u200d at their own game, and win elections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed the importance of early voting initiatives nationally for Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The rules are the rules. Let\u2019s compete to win,&#8221; Youngkin reiterated.<\/p>\n<h3>RNC Supports Early Voting Initiatives<\/h3>\n<p>The Republican National Committee has also moved to support these initiatives. Last \u2062month, the party announced the selection of Wisconsin as the first state to \u2064implement its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pres-trump-endorses-gops-bank-your-vote-initiative\/\" title=\"Trump supports GOP's 'Bank Your Vote' initiative.\">early voting initiative<\/a>, <strong>Bank Your Vote<\/strong>. According to the party, the \u200ccampaign is a nationwide \u200beffort to maximize pre-Election Day voting.<\/p>\n<p>On a press call, RNC Chairwoman said, \u201cWhen you have a football \u2064game, you don\u2019t wait \u2019til \u200dthe fourth quarter to start scoring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have\u2063 to make\u2063 sure that we\u2019re not allowing Democrats\u2062 to get such a\u200b huge \u200bstart during these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/voters-in-nine-states-can-cast-november-ballots-in-september-north-carolinians-already-have\/\" title=\"Voters in Nine States Can Cast November Ballots in September; North Carolinians Already Have\">early voting periods<\/a>\u2064 that we have to \u200dmake\u2063 it all up\u2062 on election day,&#8221; \u200bshe added.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Stance on Early Voting<\/h3>\n<p>However, former President Donald Trump, who\u200d currently leads the \u200cpack of GOP primary candidates by double\u200b digits, \u2064has been less clear about embracing the method of voting.<\/p>\n<p>In a town \u200chall with Fox News&#8217;s Sean Hannity in July, Trump repeatedly raised concerns over &#8220;phony ballots&#8221; \u2062and non-Election Day \u2062voting as the host urged him to endorse early voting methods.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, though, Trump released a \u2062video in support of the RNC&#8217;s initiative. \u201cThe RNC is leading the fight to help \u2063secure your vote in 2024 as well. They\u2019re fighting bad Democrat\u200c laws, putting folks on the ground to serve as poll workers and poll watchers and engaging attorneys to monitor every step of the voting process,\u201d he told viewers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must defeat the far \u2062left\u2062 at their own game, or\u200b our country \u200bwill never recover from this disastrous crooked Biden administration. Sign up at bankyourvote.com \u2063now and join the Republican effort\u2064 to win big \u2062in\u200d 2024. We\u2019re going \u200cto win, and we\u2019re going to make America great again,\u201d Trump continued.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Trump has espoused concerns about election security, particularly since losing the 2020 presidential election to President \u2064Joe\u2063 Biden. The former president finds himself in a contradictory position by supporting early voting efforts while continuing to \u200dcontest the 2020 results.<\/p>\n<p><em>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">here<\/a> to read more\u200c from The Washington Examiner.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
