(AmericanProsperity.com) – Dealing a fatal blow to Kamala Harris’ chances in this crucial swing state, Nevada Republicans are forging a new path in election strategy to boost early voting turnout.
The GOP’s embrace of mail-in ballot collection and aggressive “ballot chasing” tactics have not only erased a previous 47,000-ballot Democratic lead but have now put Republicans nearly 6,000 votes ahead.
Nevada GOP Chairman and Trump senior adviser Michael J. McDonald expressed confidence in the Republican strategy.
He stated, “We’re seeing a strong turnout from Republicans who understand the importance of banking their vote ahead of time.”
“This enthusiasm reflects the confidence voters have in President Trump’s leadership and his ability to solve Nevadans’ top concerns: rising costs, stagnant wages, and affordable housing,” McDonald added.
The early voting period, which began on October 19 and continues through November 1, has seen a huge Republican participation.
This surge in GOP turnout is especially significant in Washoe County and rural areas, challenging the traditional Democrat stronghold known as the “Clark County firewall.”
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is currently leading Harris by 2 points in Nevada, with strong support from independent voters over 50.
This lead and the GOP’s early voting success have sent shockwaves through the Democrat establishment.
In a desperate attempt to stem the tide, prominent Democrats including Barack Obama and Jill Biden are now scrambling to campaign in Nevada.
The Republican strategy in Nevada is part of a broader national trend. GOP voters are outpacing Democrats in early voting in key battleground states like Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Volunteers actively collected mail-in ballots at a recent Trump rally in Las Vegas and encouraged supporters to vote early.
Once criticized by Republicans, this “ballot harvesting” approach has now become a central part of their get-out-the-vote efforts.
“We don’t like early voting, but it’s how the game is, the rules that the Democrats have set,” explained Republican volunteer Schayden Gorai.
“You’re at the center and at the heart of this election. I truly believe that how this state goes is how the election is going to go,” Senator Marco Rubio told Nevada voters.
The GOP’s messaging on economic issues and immigration concerns appears to resonate strongly with Nevada’s voters, particularly in the state’s tourism-dependent economy.
This strategic change and increased efforts to ensure election integrity through poll watchers and hotlines have energized the Republican base and attracted independent voters.
With Trump leading among those planning to vote on Election Day, the GOP’s early voting surge could be the key to flipping Nevada red and securing a crucial victory in the battle for the White House.
