Republican Voter Engagement in Arizona and Georgia: Strategies and Implications
Strategies for Republican Voter Engagement in Arizona and Georgia
As we approach the 2022 mid-term elections, the future of the Republican Party hangs in the balance. For Republicans to flip the Senate, two states in particular—Arizona and Georgia—will be critical battlegrounds. However, persuading Republican voters in these states to come out and vote amid claims of election fraud remains a significant challenge. Faced with a series of investigations and audits, some are questioning the legitimacy of the election process and their motivation to participate.
Elections and Election Integrity
The recent investigations and audits in Georgia and Maricopa County may lead to indictments and a thorough clean-up of the election system. This includes the recent Georgia election reform, which aims to enhance transparency and integrity. The Maricopa County audit, a detailed review of voting systems and procedures, further underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
Engagement and Voter Motivation
Republican voters in Arizona and Georgia are taking a significant risk by believing claims of election fraud. However, if these voters are energized to fight for democracy by voting against candidates associated with these claims, they may be more likely to participate in the elections. On the other hand, if they perceive these claims as attempts to undermine democracy, it could further polarize the electorate. In either case, Republican voters are caught between a rock and a hard place.
Running Actual Republican Candidates
Perhaps the solution lies in running more genuine Republican candidates rather than relying on RINO (Republican in Name Only) supporters of Trump. Currently, the Republican Party in Arizona is controlled by Trump RINO seditionists, making it difficult to rally support for credible candidates. The Arizona GOP has been hyper-focused on finding or creating fraud in the 2020 election, rather than addressing these issues in a constructive manner.
The Impact of Trump’s Strategy
Trump’s strategy of claiming election fraud has been effective in generating partisan outrage, soliciting significant donations, and inciting insurrections. Unfortunately, this approach is not serving the long-term interests of the Republican Party or the American people. Trump’s actions benefit him while harm those around him. In short, Trump’s strategy can be summed up as benefiting him and harming everyone else.
Electoral Manipulation and the Pandemic
I believe that the 2020 election was rigged but not in the traditional sense. The effort to ensure Democratic victories was fueled by an onslaught of leftist special interest groups and unions, supported by some conservative groups. These groups, backed by powerful business leaders and tech oligarchs, took advantage of the pandemic to pressure election officials and government leaders to violate election laws. They sought to implement changes that allowed unverified ballots, extended periods for counting votes, and other relaxed security measures. These tactics facilitated the “manufacture” of votes, which were added after observers had left the premises.
The US Constitution mandates that state legislatures make election law. However, these pandemic changes were not made legally. The entire scheme was exposed by a leftist editor at Time magazine. It was an effort to prevent Trump’s victory, with the belief that he would cause significant harm to democracy by challenging the results. Without this interference, Trump would likely have won.

Conclusion
The path to elections in Arizona and Georgia is complex and fraught with challenges. To effectively engage Republican voters and address claims of election fraud, the Republican Party must focus on running credible candidates and promoting transparency and integrity in the electoral process. Only then can they truly serve the long-term interests of their constituents and the future of the nation.
