WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – Together with voting rights activist Scott Presler, Turning Point Action has offered to provide $5 million to ballot-chasing initiatives in Wisconsin.
With more than a year until the 2024 presidential election, this project will aim to persuade GOP voters in Wisconsin to cast their ballots early.
Presler, a conservative activist, and founder of Early Vote Action, is well-known for his grassroots initiatives, particularly in Wisconsin in the run-up to that state’s crucial supreme court election which was won by left-leaning Judge Janet Protasiewicz.
The $5 million pledge is the first of the 2024 election cycle and Turning Point Action’s largest to date. The group will focus on voter registration, early voting, mobile app rollout, data collecting, and neighborhood get-out-the-vote campaigns.
“Turning Point Action’s GOTV investment in the state of Wisconsin takes our commitment to ballot chasing, as well as our collaboration with Scott, to a whole new level,” said Charlie Kirk, Founder of Turning Point Action told The Post Millennial.
Additionally, Turning Point Action will also invest in competitive states around the nation that include Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
The pledge comes as a new NBC News report on Thursday morning uncovered flaws in the Republican Party’s voter mobilization tactics, notably door-knocking operations.
According to NBC News, voter contact efforts, which have been at the heart of conservative political operations for years, are riddled with problems such as “fraudulent and untrustworthy data entries” and “allegations of lax hiring practices and a lack of accountability.”
