Sentinel Action Fund Memo

As previous cycles have shown, Republicans can no longer solely rely on "day-of" voters to win elections.
Instead, we must use the same timeline and tactics as the Left to turn out voters early, by mail, and on
Election Day. However, this can only be possible if Republicans and conservatives encourage voters to
turn out early and securely cast their ballots when they vote early in-person or by mail.
Please see the below suggested messaging points, which have been developed by the Sentinel Action
Fund following extensive research via public opinion polling and focus groups with swing state voters.
Together, we can improve the Right's election infrastructure and deliver monumental wins in 2024.
SECURE YOUR EARLY VOTE
The Left has used all voting methods for decades and Republicans need to catch up by
modernizing our election operations. We can and should do two things at once: Call for election
integrity reforms and utilize all tactics needed to win including mail in ballots, ballot chasing
where legal, early vote and Election Day turnout.
Conservatives have said for years – Make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.
Well, utilizing all legally available tactics is making it “easier for voters to vote.”
To win in 2024, Republicans need to win by a large enough margin to overcome any instances
of fraud. This means showing up to vote early and bringing family members and friends with
you to the polls.
In the 2022 Election Cycle, over $8.9 billion was spent on federal elections; and on the Republican
side, no major independent expenditure organization was focused on GOTV efforts or ballot
chasing.
Couple this with the reality that the Left has built out a complex election turnout scheme utilizing
501c3 non-profits, for-profits, a weaponized Biden Administration and private cash donations
from Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.
Why does this all matter? Republicans lost the U.S. Senate by 233,036 votes (NV/GA/AZ) out
of the 81,276,287 votes cast in those races across the country. If we increased GOP turnout by
.003% in these states, the GOP would control the Senate. In Nevada alone, the race came down
to just 7,928 ballots. A little boost can go a very long way in razor thin elections.
Early voting gives citizens a secure and convenient way to still cast their ballots in-person and
make sure their voices are heard. Voters should use the flexibility of early in-person voting to
bring more voters to the polls with them.
EASY TO VOTE, HARD TO CHEAT
Voters should get involved in the process as poll watchers and grassroots organizers, but the
best way to win against any fraud is through historically high turnout at every step of the process
– whether early in-person, by mail, or on Election Day. We cannot allow Democrats to build on
early momentum and repeat their past strategies of winning BEFORE Election Day.
Since 2020, Republican governors and legislators have worked to ensure the early voting
process is safe and secure – over 300 Election Integrity bills have been passed and enacted in
states across the country. These include strong voter ID laws, signature verification for absentee
ballots, or restrictions on ballot drop boxes. With these changes, voters can have more faith in
the chain of custody of their ballots and security of the process.
Absentee ballots give voters the opportunity to verify the security and receipt of their ballots
through tracking systems. Most states have ballot tracking to follow the ballot through the mail
process and an online portal for voters to ensure their ballots were safely and securely received
by the state.
Staying involved and having a plan to vote is the only way to keep elections honest.
