Former President Donald Trump's campaign has launched a program to encourage Republicans to make use of early voting and mail-in and absentee ballot options in the upcoming November presidential election. "Republicans must win, and we will use every appropriate tool to beat the Democrats because they are destroying our country," said Trump, who called the campaign "Swamp the Vote," in a news release issued on June 4. "Whether you vote absentee, by mail, early in-person or on election day, we are going to protect the vote. We make sure your ballot is secure and your voice is heard. We must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout," Trump said in the release. "The way to win is to swamp them, if we swamp them with votes they can't cheat. You need to make a plan, register and vote any way possible. We have got to get your vote." Trump didn't exactly like the mail-in and absentee voting options. The former president has stated that they lead to a rise in fraudulent votes being cast. "We have to get rid of mail-in ballots because once you have mail-in ballots, you have crooked elections," Trump said in his victory speech after the Iowa caucuses in January.

Trump called on Republicans to embrace early voting and ballot harvesting

But Trump recently implied that Republicans need to embrace early voting and so-called "ballot harvesting" in states that permit it. (Related: Republicans can’t count on ballot harvesting to win elections – here’s what they must do instead.) "In the states where ballot harvesting is still legal, we have no choice but to beat the Democrats at their own game. Either we start ballot harvesting or you can just wave goodbye to our country. We have to get smart," Trump said last year. In April, Trump wrote on Truth Social that "absentee voting, early voting and election day voting are all good options" for Republicans, adding GOP voters need to "make a plan, register and vote" in the upcoming election. Other Republicans said they are not going to take a chance of leaving ballots behind. Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, has promised to embrace all kinds of legal election methods to increase turnout. "Any way you can vote and as early as you can vote, get your vote banked," she said during a GOP event in North Carolina. The tide change was in progress for months, as Republicans came out supporting the voting methods as a part of their strategy to beat Democrat President Joe Biden. Donald Trump Jr. supported early voting in December 2022, stating Republicans will have to set up the same "operation" as the Democrats to have a chance in November. "That's the one thing they're good at, folks. They figure out where they need to be, how they win, there's no moral compass. There's no anything. They figure out how to win, how to get where they need to be, and then they do it. And they will run over anything in their way," the younger Trump said. The adoption of the non-traditional voting methods is in line with Trump's campaign messaging of persuading his supporters to come out on Election Day to make the results "too big to rig."
