re: Why don't Republicans launch an aggressive ballot harvesting operation?

Because the federal government will actually charge and prosecute Repubs.

Who is to say they don't.
BUT, the Rep party sure as hell wasn't going to cheat for Trump.

Instead of complaining about ballot harvesting, what if Republicans put together the most sophisticated ballot harvesting operation wherever it is legal?
Ballot harvesting operates on the edge of the law on a good day. In reality, it’s $10 or a pack of smokes for the ballot (or more). Or it’s “helping” meemaw sign off on the ballot at the senior living facility when she can’t really even tell you who she’s voting for. Or a dozen other options.

Republicans rural or suburbed or up in their gated communities, not feasible.
Democrats can harvest a lot easier when they live in densely populated cities.
Republicans need to have a different way to game the system and I am sure they are doing something but it can't compete with the democrat's inherent advantage.
And it doesn't help that most republican politicians are uninspiring and they have no common goal. Democrats have that stuff in spades.
Ousside of Trump and that congresswoman who rocks the glock, they have no one generating any heat.

Doesn't matter if the voting machines can change the votes.
You don't think that 10 million votes cast in the Georgia runoff wouldn't have been a come to Jesus moment?
That's what Republicans should have done. It was discussed on the election board a little, but only a handful of posters understood.

Even if the right weren't the side of laws and morals, and would do what the Democrats do... the antagonistic media would whip up an outrage.

I would rather see constitutional groups file endless lawsuits before conservative courts in shutting down the Harris/Biden cabal.

The CA GOP did after 2018. It saved the special election for the Katie Hill seat and probably won back some of the seats that flipped after 2018 like Young Kim's election. She "won" this year after being denied the win in 2018.

Conservatives don’t require ballot harvesting to get the vote out.....we’re vastly more motivated to go vot and we’re more politically informed than progressives and low energy Dim voters.....in simple terms, there are tens of millions of Americans who will vote Dim if they don’t have to leave their basement or couch...mail that ballot with return postage and they’ll put their Cheetos thumb print on it.

Because the GOPe is happy being in the minority and the "Party of NO", this is why you have people like John McCain fight Bush and Trump harder than Obama. Plus being in the minority they really dont have to do anything just complain.

What have you gained or prospered from with Biden in office?

Character is doing the ethical thing even when you know you won't get caught if you cheat. I learned that as a child and it has served me well.

They already have.
If you don't think they were in on this fraud to get Trump out, you're not paying attention.
They're asking for a secret ballot for impeachment round 2, FFS. It should be obvious to everyone that they're part of the problem.

The GOP has been gerrymandering for decades. Why do you think Trump won the first time while losing the popular vote? Dems have to win the popular vote by hundreds of thousands to win the presidency... the fix has been in for your side the entire time and the GOP still could win.
Either you’re on the wrong side or you need to get busy redrawing those districts. I’m sure Trump has a sharpie you and borrow.

Because they would be rounded up and thrown in jail so fast. Republicans could never get away with something like that
Posted on 1/27/21 at 12:18 pm to Baw_Patrol
Because the type of people you could potentially harvest from virtually all will vote Democrat.
The reality is republicans can no longer win a theoretical election in which everyone who can votes, the numbers and demographics just don’t allow for it. Republicans need to insure policy exists that limits how many low interest, no investment Americans participate in the process. There is no path to harvesting a substantial number of extra Republican votes.

And that's the problem, right there.
MY SIDE, huh?
MY side is America. Not Republican or Democrat. Those parties have done a goddamn fine job of destroying us all. But keep letting your partisanship get in the way.
This is exactly why we are where we are.
