Trump\u2019s most loyal supporters to change their minds about voting early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There is some evidence to suggest it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With polls opening on Tuesday in Wisconsin, some form of early voting has commenced in all seven of the swing states. As of Monday, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/21\/us\/politics\/2024-early-voting.html\" title=\"\">17 million people nationwide had already cast<\/a> a vote \u2014 and there are initial indications that Republicans are showing up to the polls or returning absentee ballots with more gusto than in recent years. In many cases, Republican officials and canvassers on the ground are spurring their voters on with the same debunked conspiracy theories about fraud that Mr. Trump has used to sow doubt about the integrity of the count.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey have done a better job of turning out their voters to vote early,\u201d said Sam Almy, a Democratic political strategist who tracks early ballots in Arizona. \u201cI think they realized that early voting is easy and convenient: It turns out your voters quickly, and they don\u2019t have to gamble on turning out all their voters on Election Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s a remarkable turnabout from four years ago, when Mr. Trump had thoroughly demonized every method of voting that didn\u2019t occur in person on Election Day. As states expanded access to mail and absentee voting at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Trump repeatedly <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/virus-outbreak-election-2020-ap-fact-check-elections-voting-fraud-and-irregularities-8c5db90960815f91f39fe115579570b4\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">discouraged his voters<\/a> from taking advantage. He said mail ballots created \u201cchaos and confusion,\u201d and asserted without evidence that it would lead to \u201celection interference by foreign countries.\u201d Many of his supporters believed him, and Joseph R.

The Republican National Committee, with his daughter-in-law <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6363522806112\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Lara Trump now the co-chair,<\/a> poured resources into programs that would encourage Republican voters to submit ballots early.
