Former President Donald Trump officially rallied his supporters to embrace mail-in ballots and early voting for the upcoming November election.
His announcement came with the launch of an initiative called “Swamp the Vote USA.”
“Many Republicans like to vote on Election Day and we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout on Tuesday, November 5,” Trump declared Tuesday in a video filmed at Mar-a-Lago.
“But until then, Republicans must win,” Trump emphasized. “And we must use every appropriate tool available to beat the Democrats, they are destroying our country.”
This move marks a pivotal reversal in election strategy for the former president, as Trump criticized the extensive use of mail-in ballots leading up to the 2020 election.
He ripped states that adopted more permissive absentee voting laws due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This led to Trump supporters being more wary of mail-in ballots, while Democrats encouraged their voters to send in their ballots early.
Daily Mail highlighted that some states had laws that prevented the counting of mail-in ballots until Election Day.
This caused Trump to initially lead in several battleground states, only for Biden to pull ahead as mail-in ballots were counted later.
Trump claimed widespread fraud as a result, specifically targeting the mail-in ballots.
“We were getting ready to win this election, frankly we did win this election,” Trump asserted from the White House after Fox News called the pivotal state of Arizona for Biden.
“We want all voting to stop,” he continued. “We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list.”
Trump reiterated his preference for elections to occur only on Election Day with paper ballots and voter ID in his latest video announcing the new mail-in-voting initiative. However, he acknowledged that current election laws don’t align with his ideal.
The initiative’s website launched in partnership with the Republican National Committee.
It allows Trump supporters to pledge to vote absentee, early, or on Election Day, and even offers the option to obtain a mail-in ballot, Daily Mail reported.
“Republicans must win – and we must use EVERY appropriate tool available to beat the Democrats,” the site reads.
“Whether you vote early, absentee, by mail, or in person we are going to protect the vote.
“Do your part to fix the damage Joe Biden and the far-left liberals have caused by Swamping Them with Votes,” it continues, followed by a link for users to see all their voting options.
Trump blasted Democrats in his video, claiming he lost the last election due to widespread voter fraud.
“We never want what happened in 2020 to happen again,” he said, adding, “keep your eyes open because these people want to cheat and they do cheat and frankly it’s the only thing they do well.”
“The way you win is to swamp them, if we swamp them, they can’t cheat, it just doesn’t work out,” he continued.
Resist the Mainstream previously reported on the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) plan to install new ballot harvesting strategies.
The RNC’s newly-elected co-chair Lara Trump argued “we’ve been playing checkers, and the Democrats have been playing chess.”
