trump s gamble targeting infrequent arizona voters paid off msn

President-elect Donald Trump and his Republican allies took a gamble by spending millions of dollars to attract infrequent voters — and data show the effort paid off in Arizona. The small but significant win could reshape how Republicans tailor their campaigns to key voting blocs. Conservative organization Turning Point Action’s effort “Chase the Vote” involved tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of paid staffers whose jobs were to cultivate relationships with Arizonans they believed were friendly to Republicans... And the risk was worth it in the Grand Canyon State, at least. Data from TargetSmart, a Democratic polling firm, showed that Republicans had the advantage in turning out infrequent voters in Arizona. Around 30,000 registered Republicans who had not voted since at least 2018 cast a ballot, compared to Democrats who turned out 20,000 of the same voters, according to the New York Times.

Republicans also held an edge over Democrats among voters who skipped the 2022 midterm elections, during which the GOP’s expected red wave significantly missed the mark, but voted in other recent elections. The GOP turned out 185,000 of those voters compared to Democrats turning out 157,000.

Trump. Hundreds of paid staff members worked to build enduring relationships with Arizonans whom Turning Point saw as friendly to Republicans, targeting a smaller universe of voters than traditional canvassing operations. Turning Point’s gamble appears to have paid off, at least in Arizona. Newly released voting data compiled by TargetSmart, a Democratic polling firm, shows a distinct G.O.P. advantage among infrequent voters: About 30,000 registered Republicans in Arizona who had not voted since at least 2018 cast a ballot this year. Democrats turned out just 20,000 of the same types of voters.

Among slightly more reliable voters — those who skipped the 2022 midterm elections but voted in other recent elections — Republicans still held an edge in Arizona, turning out 185,000 compared with 157,000 for... And the G.O.P. had an even greater advantage among first-time voters, with 202,000 such Republicans casting a ballot and just 145,000 such Democrats doing the same.
