The Turnout Gap: Why Every Polk Republican Must Vote Now
Republicans hold a +59,879 voter registration lead in Polk County (193,705 Republicans vs. 133,826 Democrats). Yet the live ballot count is practically tied because 17.3% of Polk Democrats have already voted, compared to just 12.1% of Polk Republicans.
Right now, over 10,900 Polk Republicans have an unreturned mail ballot sitting at home. When Polk Republicans show up in person, we win: Republicans have won all four days of in-person early voting (+803 total). Do not wait for Election Day. Vote early between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM or drop off your mail ballot today.
