As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Sentinel Action Fund is launching a voter registration website, a move that is seen as a way to mobilize GOP voters for the midterms. The website will help visitors determine if their registration is up-to-date in their state. The group’s president, Jessica Anderson, frames the effort as a way to clear voter participation hurdles. The website is part of a larger effort to ensure Republicans have a shot at keeping control of the House and Senate. The move is also seen as a way to counter historical precedent, which suggests that the party that captures the White House in the presidential election faces blowback in the midterms.
It’s just another tool in the party’s voter mobilization efforts.
