Republicans believe they have found an electoral edge in states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — that’s if they actually get people to the ballot box.
A turnout effort from the political action fund associated with the United States Concealed Carry Association is targeting gun owners who are not registered to vote. USCCA has over 850,000 members, 70,000 of which live in Pennsylvania or Wisconsin.
“We are looking at a replay of 2016 or 2020 where, essentially, 40 to 70,000 votes in the swing states decided who the president of the United States was,” Ford O’Connell, a GOP strategist, told NOTUS. “When you’re fighting for inches on the electoral map, the more of these folks you turn out to vote, the better off it is for Donald Trump.”
