Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday on FOX News that Republicans need to embrace early voting, vote-by-mail, and ballot harvesting in order to win elections in the future.

KELLYANNE CONWAY: The Democrats were unified last week on how to divide America and scare them into getting to the polls. We had a much better message, we respected the voters more, talking about their top concerns (inflation, crime, education, and the rest). And that reaped benefits in some places.

…

Unity means you don’t have these on-the-record sniping comments from consultants that represent Mitch McConnell or Rick Scott, all of whom I’m sure raked in millions this year and we’re not going to have control of the Senate.

You know what, guys? Pick up the phone. Walk across the street and talk to each other. Don’t let this spill out into public.

…

We also have to unify on tactics. I think the Democrats have just done a better job investing in what I call the non-sexy parts of politics. They’re ballot harvesting. They’re banking early votes.

Somehow, our voters still feel very shy about voting early. Some of them don’t trust the machines. Others say, “I’m a traditional voter, I go to the polls.” Whatever it is, we need to get smart, not just about voter engagement and candidate recruitment, but banking those ballots early. We’re taking a chance that grandpa can get out of the house on Election Day or any eventuality that can affect any of us. We need to start banking those votes early.
