Republican Strategist: ‘Republicans Are the Older Party and Older Folks Like to Vote by Mail’

EXCERPT:

GINSBERG: "Well, as of right now, people should continue to vote by mail if they want to vote by mail. There is nothing in effect that would stop them from doing it. One thing is, I think you‘re going to see some blowback from Republicans in the coming weeks because after all, Republicans are the older party and older folks like to vote by mail. They‘re the rural party, and certainly vote by mail is important to people in rural areas. And thanks to Donald Trump, there are many more low-propensity voters in the Republican Party. And Republicans' operatives in the states know that putting up those barriers to that part of the Republican base makes Republican turnout less likely. So this is kind of a flawed political strategy wrapped in a rather vocally charged policy from the president."
