Harris planning to vote by mail to 'model behavior' [View all]

Vice President Harris will vote by mail ahead of Election Day as a way to “model” the different modes of voting for Americans, the campaign told reporters Saturday. The team, however, didn’t provide an update on whether Harris had already sent her ballot.

The vice president is from California, but she has not traveled back to the state recently. Instead, she has prioritized her travel on the swing states, as the White House race remains close with less than a week left until the election.

“She wants to model behavior for other voters to continue to take advantage of the various modes of voting that we have during the [Get Out the Vote] time period,” campaign officials said. The team added that by Tuesday, they will be focused on convincing low propensity voters after they’ve made the push for early voting.

“That is the effort that we are pushing to all voters right now so that on Tuesday, it will be a last call for those final low propensity voters that this campaign needs to turn out and continue to convince all the way through polls closing on Election Day,” the official said.
