Young Trump Supporters Take to Streets to Push Early Voting

Voting is underway in the U. S. presidential election, and young Republicans are on a mission to change their party's voting habits. They're knocking on doors in key states like Arizona, encouraging people to vote early. But some older Republicans are skeptical, especially about mail-in ballots, because of false claims from the previous election. Four years ago, Donald Trump said mail-in voting was dangerous and could lead to fraud. Now, he's in a tight race with Vice President Kamala Harris and is urging supporters to vote early. This change in message is challenging for groups like Turning Point Action, who have thousands of canvassers out there.

They're telling voters to drop off their early ballots in person to reduce the risk of them going missing. The group's founder, Charlie Kirk, has a large following among young people. He's telling audiences that Trump's lead needs to be "too big to rig" this time. Kirk advises supporters to take their ballots to polling stations before November 5. Groups like Turning Point Action and America PAC are targeting Republicans who have voted before but don't always show up. They're focusing on states like Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Kirk thinks focusing on agreeable voters is better than trying to persuade undecided ones.
