Republicans are planning to use mail voting and ballot harvesting in their get-out-the-vote campaigns for the 2024 election. Republican-controlled legislatures have acted against early voting, shortening windows for returning mail ballots, banning or limiting the use of drop boxes, and criminalizing third-party ballot collection. The goal is to persuade GOP supporters that early voting techniques are secure and to reduce pressure on Election Day turnout efforts. The challenge will be providing a consistent message that reassures GOP voters, as some Republicans remain skeptical due to false claims of widespread voter fraud. Tom Perez, former secretary of labor and chair of the Democratic National Committee, will join the White House as a senior adviser and director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
