As Election Day approaches, the struggle between Republicans and Democrats over mail-in voting intensifies, particularly in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. While Democrats currently lead in mail ballot requests, Pennsylvania Republicans are closing the gap in an effort to mobilize their voters. Despite former President Trump's controversial stance on mail-in ballots—calling it 'cheating'—his influence appears to be gaining ground among voters utilizing this option. Simultaneously, GOP leaders are investing significantly to address the challenges posed by Trump's previous statements and to encourage their base to utilize mail ballots. The tension between encouraging mail-in voting and the former president's negative rhetoric continues to complicate the GOP's strategy at this critical juncture.
