Trump supporters are boycotting early voting after buying debunked conspiracy theory movie: reporter

Source: Raw Story

The Daily Beast's Will Sommer writes on Twitter that he's noticed a trend among Trump supporters toward boycotting early voting on the grounds that it is supposedly yet another tool Democrats used to steal the 2020 presidential election.

"Interesting idea emerging from conservative media that Republicans should either vote in-person on election day, or not at all," he observes. "They think all early voting, even from Republicans, somehow helps Democrats cheat."

I am VERRRRRY okay with this. Remember some of us joked and wondered if we could convince the Republicans not to vote? Well someone did!!!

1. Trumpies: The Elections Are Rigged! Don't Bother To Vote! nt

[Walleye]

2. Tell Republicans if they vote, Democrats and George Soros will be able to track them

[brooklynite]

22. Let's not make up conspiracies...you can only be tracked if you got the COVID vaccination.

Everybody knows that...

[Walleye]

23. Right. It's gotta be believable

[dchill]

32. I just hope they don't find out that...

...all in-person votes on election day are counted as Democratic, so if they just DON'T VOTE, it actually costs Democrats!

3. maggots are gullible and superstitious..they are easily swayed and we could

..start a rumor that whisky is a dem plot to kill them and they would believe it! I believe in psycho warfare and they are the perfect target.

[pnwmom]

9. Tell them that voters will get a Covid vaccine!

Better yet, actually have them available.

[awesomerwb1]

4. They'll still vote

[sakabatou]

6. True.

[sakabatou]

5. Dumbasses.

[multigraincracker]

7. One thing about early November.....

[pnwmom]

8. We should spread the rumor that when people show up to vote

there will be nurses there ready to give them a Covid jab.

[iluvtennis]

16. I like that one 😂🤣😂 n/t

[Marthe48]

10. I guess they like that bump on election day

just before their candidates fall off the cliff.

[Hieronymus Phact]

19. Maybe thats the angle.

Vote in person and then try to stop any votes from early voting being counted or have them thrown out because of some technicality.

[Marthe48]

20. True

The right is eroding every aspect of our society and culture that we counted on and trusted. At least for some.

[louis-t]

11. And please, repiggies, don't vote by mail!!!

And those nasty machines will switch your vote to Democrats! So, maybe you should skip that, too. Remember, Trump can win elections with his mind! Believe me!

[dchill]

33. Okay, this one I LIKE!

[Vogon_Glory]

12. Or maybe that they'll automatically be enrolled in Antifa...

[duhneece]

13. That increases the odds that they can't vote... if they get Covid

… for instance or the flu.
Good.

[Midnight Writer]

14. They're wise to us again! We just can't fool these Republicans, They're too clever for us!

[lark]

15. Hey, they have rights! They can choose to not vote & help America!

I applaud that notion and support it 100%, Freaking idiots!

[ZonkerHarris]

17. Nice and hopefully long lines and schedules will prevent some on Election Day

[LeftInTX]

18. It's Raw Story without a lot of context

Republicans tend to favor election day over early voting. However, there is a practical reason for this: Many are from rural areas. Many times their is only one early voting site in an entire rural county and it's too far. So, they wait until election day to vote, so they can vote closer to home.

Just because they are gravitating towards election day voting does not mean that they are not going to vote. Additionally, all of those election day totals that we don't see until late in the returns will often skew towards the GOP.

[ificandream]

21. Great point. Thank you.

[Mr.Mystery]

30. What you say is true, but also true is that a lot of voters don't vote

on election day even though they intend to . . .

Whenever I canvass door-to-door, we strongly encourage that voters request a mail-in ballot. That's money in the bank for our side.

[IronLionZion]

24. They should boycott voting.

since it's all fraudulent.

[Martin68]

25. Good.

[VWolf]

26. Fantastic if the movie works against the R's

The only thing that would be better would be if D'Souza came out after the election and admitted he was a Democratic operator all along, and he was punking them with "2000 Mules"

Not gonna happen, though. He's a prick.

[Bayard]

27. Carry on!

[MissMillie]

28. They do this so that on election night they can...

... pull out the argument that their candidate(s) were ahead and somehow the election got "stolen" from them.

In many states, the votes that are cast early cannot even be processed until voting ends on election night. So the in-person votes get counted first... then the early/absentee/mail-in stuff gets processed and counted, and the early GOP leads diminish--or completely disappear.

[Mr.Mystery]

29. Seriously, folks, that's some major league stupid . . .

Early voting and mail-in voting is a great way to increase turn-out.

A lot of voters intend to vote at the polls, but then they get side-tracked and end up not following through. That's one main reason why polls (like at Nate Silver's 538 site) are often wrong.

This could really hurt the idiot Cons in November.

[ZonkerHarris]

31. Warning to Republicans: THE MICROCHIPS ARE IN THE BALLOTS!

[Red Mountain]

34. The safest way to make sure their votes are counted

is to show up close to the time the polls close and demand an anonymous ballot.

As in......forget showing ID.....just refuse to state your name at all.

Otherwise Soros wins.

[GoldandSilver]

35. Clark County, Nevada has great voting arrangements.

The state just went from caucusing to primary voting. Big improvement! But they also have two weeks of early voting and designated ballot drop off sites. You are not limited to voting only in your precinct. You can vote at any site. They have a ton of voting sites, some are fixed locations. and some are mobile, serving people where they live or work or shop. The voting sites are open at times convenient for voters and times (which are widely publicized) may vary at some sites to accommodate shift workers.

There is rarely a long line and the election workers are everything you would hope for - welcoming, knowledgeable, efficient. If you came prepared and marked your sample ballot ahead of time, you are in and out. The voting machines tabulate your votes electronically and also print out a tape (under protective glass) of your votes so there is a written and electronic record of your votes. You have plenty of time and opportunity to review/adjust your votes before selecting the “submit” button. What could be better?

I feel terrible for oppressed voters in other states. Voting should be encouraged in every way possible. Voters should be invited and accommodated, not restricted and inconvenienced. Vote for Secretary’s of State that work for you, not against you!
