Pollster John Rogers says nearly one million Republicans who did not vote in 2020 voted in 2024
Polling expert John Rogers on Friday revealed that nearly one million voters in the seven swing states who did not vote in 2020, did vote this year, thanks to a GOP ground operation.
Republicans saw massive voter turnout in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Rogers said that he expects to have the final tally of voters in March, but from the numbers they have seen so far, the operation was “tremendously successful across the board.”
“These are people that didn’t vote in 2020, many of them hadn’t voted in so long that according to their voter file, they were labeled as inactive voters,” Rogers said on the “Just The News, No Noise” TV show. “One of the strategic decisions that was made early on, probably about six months before the election, maybe a little more than that, was that we were going to go after the lowest propensity voters, figuring that the high propensity voters were going to be the people that vote in every election.”
Rogers said that the canvassers heard from some of the voters that they were the first people to knock on their doors and encourage them to vote. He said they also sent text messages to voters and engaged in real conversations with them via text.
“We noticed in Pennsylvania that we had a bunch of people that had mobility issues, and so we sent out a very specific text at a targeted universe of low propensity voters that we thought might fall into this category, saying, like, ‘Hey, do you need help?'” He said. “It was amazing to see real people reply to these messages and get a reply back from a volunteer … and you should see voters’ minds being blown out there when we were actually replying to them.”
