Republican Groups Invest Eight Figures To Launch Largest Ever Pennsylvania Vote By Mail Program
WASHINGTON, D.C. –– In collaboration with Keystone Renewal PAC and The Sentinel Action Fund, the Republican State Leadership Committee PAC (RSLC PAC), is launching the largest ever Pennsylvania vote-by-mail program to ensure Republican victories up and down the ballot this year. This effort is backed by a historic eight-figure investment that will put Republicans in a strong position to challenge the Democrats’ vote-by-mail advantage this year and in future election cycles.
Republicans expect that the 2024 election will be decided by a razor-thin margin just as it was in 2020 and 2022 in the Commonwealth. This first-of-its-kind effort will help to expand their voter base by targeting low-propensity voters and persuadable swing voters and ensure that voters have the ability and know-how to cast their vote in the manner that works best for them.
“The RSLC PAC’s historic early and absentee voting program was a major reason for our success in key battleground districts in Virginia last year, and now we are doubling down on this innovative approach in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 2024. This investment, which would not be possible without our partners, will create the largest and most comprehensive Republican vote-by-mail effort in Pennsylvania history and will be a difference maker as we work to elect Republicans up and down the ballot in the state.” – RSLC Pac President Dee Duncan
"Embracing early and absentee voting is key for a Republican victory in 2024. As we saw in previous cycles, Republicans must be mobilized earlier in the cycle and equipped with a strategy to connect with and turn out voters before Election Day. By providing Pennsylvania voters with the tools and information they need to join the mail-in voting list, this historic initiative will connect with voters early and help ensure ballots are securely cast and counted in the primary and general elections. The Sentinel Action Fund is proud to be part of this effort." - Jessica Anderson, President Sentinel Action Fund
"Keystone Renewal PAC is excited to be part of the Republican absentee ballot solution in Pennsylvania. Our effort is historic, and is the largest Keystone state vote by mail program, ever. This effort will ensure Dave and other Republicans up and down the ballot are successful this November." - Kaelan Dorr, Keystone Renewal PAC spokesperson
One component of this multi-pronged effort is a website that will offer voters the opportunity to join the mail-in voting list for 2024, ensuring they will receive a ballot in both the primary and general elections. Pennsylvania voters can go to www.skipthelinepa.vote to learn how join the annual mail-in voter list. For more information, click on the video below.
Background
In 2023, the RSLC launched Secure Your Vote Virginia in conjunction with Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Spirit of Virginia PAC to raise awareness to the early and absentee voting process. From our target universe we generated a 26% increase in absentee ballot requests from 2021 and a 32% increase in absentee ballot returns. In total, between AB/EV, we secured 26% of our target universe turnout goal heading into Election Day and converted twice as many low-propensity voters as we had set out to do. With the help of Governor Youngkin and his Spirit of Virginia PAC, we successfully increased AB/EV by 5.5% when compared to 2021.
