Republicans Launch a Brilliant Voter Registration Initiative

I never thought I’d use the words “brilliant” and “Republican Party” in the same sentence, but here we are, dear reader. The Republican National Committee (RNC), in a rare stroke of genius, has launched an initiative to register voters at gas stations in response to the sky-high gas prices that have surged under the Biden administration.

The RNC told Fox Business that it began the campaign on Saturday and enlisted staff and volunteers to register voters at gas stations located in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas of Arizona. Prices in this region have jumped to over $4.50 per gallon.

“Arizonans are frustrated with paying the record-high gas prices we’ve seen recently, this is an issue that affects almost every single Arizonan,” The RNC’s Arizona Communications Director Ben Petersen told the news outlet in a written statement. “There’s no doubt that everyone is feeling the pain at the pump, so a gas station right now may be the very best possible place for one of our volunteers to have a conversation with someone and get someone signed up to vote.”

Gas prices have steadily been increasing under President Joe Biden’s term and recently experienced a sharp spike over the past couple of weeks. “Prices surpassed the $4 mark Sunday for the first time in 14 years which Republicans across the country have argued is a direct result of Biden’s policies,” according to Fox Business.

McDaniel pointed out that under Biden, “families are paying more for gas than ever before.” She continued:

“After killing American energy independence, Biden is turning to our adversaries abroad for America’s energy needs. American families are feeling the pain at the pump, and Biden and the Democrats do not care and are making it worse.”

Conservative activist Scott Presler, who is arguably the hardest working man in Republican politics, is one of the leaders spearheading the effort. On Monday, he tweeted:

Gas station voter registration was such a success in New York, we are taking this nationwide.

I’ve been on the phone w/ activists across the country, teaching them how to register voters at gas stations.

This is a masterful move on the part of Republicans. While Democrats are vigorously advocating for teachers to discuss sexuality with kids under the age of seven years old and applauding biological men achieving victories in women’s sports, Presler and the GOP are targeting issues that Americans care about the most.

The Biden administration has struggled to divert blame for inflation and the nation’s economic woes. But it does not appear that they are fooling anyone. If this situation does not improve soon, the Democrats will be paying for it politically in the upcoming midterm elections. Unfortunately for them, they seem to be at a loss for solutions.
