Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:29:31 GMT

By Christina A. Cassidy | Associated PressATLANTA — After years of criticizing mail voting and so-called ballot harvesting as ripe for fraud, Republicans at the top of the party want to change course.They are poised to launch aggressive get-out-the-vote campaigns for 2024 that employ just those strategies, attempting to match the emphasis on early voting Democrats have used for years to lock in many of their supporters well ahead of Election Day.

As recently as last year, Republican activists peddling the stolen election narrative were te...

So far he and a lot of guys have taken the steps needed to earn that spot, but we don’t have to make that decision yet. So we will keep chugging along.”Young, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, took over first-team...
