Hayden Ludwig, now at Restoration News, recently posted this two part article. Here’s a brief summary:
There may be two major parties vying for votes, but one is fighting with sophisticated weaponry and the other is using pop guns.
The Democratic Party’s best-kept secret is its massive weaponization of America’s charities to supercharge voter participation in key states, undoubtedly tipping elections. Ensuring people vote—dubbed “saving democracy” by the Left—sounds innocuous, perhaps even admirable. But it may also be flat-out illegal.
. . .
IRS nonprofit arcana may not sound sexy, but abusing nonprofit voter registration rules has proven one of the most effective ways of increasing Democrats’ vote share in places like Colorado, Arizona, and Georgia, turning reliably red states blue over the past two decades.
. . .
VPC and CVI were created to identify and register likely Democrats, cleverly using statistics to predict how individuals vote and microtargeting techniques to discover where they live. Using demographic data is the sharpest way to register certain voters without explicitly violating the IRS ban on biased registration drives.
. . .
In other words, to win the Democrats congressional majorities, turn to tax-exempt nonprofits—not the Democratic Party. Never mind that the IRS expressly prohibits 501(c)(3) nonprofits from running registration and get-out-the-vote drives “conducted in a biased manner that favors (or opposes) one or more candidates” or one political party over another.
. . .
It’s hard to believe that 85.5 million mailers played no role in tipping the 2022 midterms in the Democrats’ favor, especially when one sees where they went.
While VPC didn’t specify any targeted races, certain states were undoubtedly hit hardest: Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maine, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Minnesota.
. . .
The Left’s top 24 voter registration nonprofits spent $434 million in 2020 alone. VPC was the largest, raking in $88 million and spending over $100 million that year. That the money went to politics, not charity …
. . .
Beat them at their own game
The solution: Copy the Left’s strategy and start building data-driven registration nonprofits to discover “hidden” conservatives in battleground states. It isn’t difficult to map out conservative Evangelical and Roman Catholic churches, for instance, nor to tap into the wellspring of volunteer poll-workers and members of grassroots election integrity groups nationwide. Go to places where patriotic, religious, traditionalist Americans gather. Seek out Ross Perot-type independents who are tired of “wokeism” and previously uninterested in a flaccid Republican Party.
But don’t expect to replicate the Left’s election machine, which took hundreds of millions of dollars and decades to build. Conservatives don’t have the time or resources to follow suit. Fortunately, they don’t need to.
When it comes to reliability, the average Republican and Democratic voter are not mirror opposites …
