New Jersey GOP wants more Republicans to vote by mail
After years of trailing Democratic vote-by-mail turnout, New Jersey Republicans are looking to step up their own mail and early voting operations as party leaders warn inaction could spell doom for the GOP.
The push comes amid a staggering structural advantage on mail-in voting that Democratic organizations have built up over more than a decade, and after GOP victories that have brought Republicans closer to majorities in the Legislature than they’ve been in nearly two decades.
But, at least in the near future, Republicans aren’t looking to outclass the opposition on pre-Election Day voting. They just want to narrow the gap, said Tom Szymanski, the Republican State Committee’s executive director.
“We’re not looking to get on higher ground than them on Election Day. We’re just looking to make the hole that we’re going into Election Day morning with shallower,” he said. “That’s the metric of success.”
