RPA Weekly Recap | January 8, 2024 New Maternal Health Services in Arkansas State Representative Aaron Pilkington joined Good Morning America to talk about a new law going into effect that requires additional maternal health services. Arkansas will now require healthcare providers to ask mothers if they want to be screened for depression up to six weeks after giving birth. "If we're able to catch this early on within the first six weeks, the hope is that we're able to get mom the care she needs so that she could have a healthy postpartum time with her new baby," Pilkington said. "A good environment for mom is a good environment for baby, and so we think this is both pro mom and pro babies, and we're very happy about that."

Visit Arkansas' Bank Your Vote Website Here. What you need to know: “Bank Your Vote” is the RNC’s nationwide campaign focused on maximizing pre-Election Day voting, launched last June. Bank Your Vote will encourage, educate, and activate Republican voters on when, where, and how to lock in their votes as early as possible, through in-person early voting, absentee voting, and ballot harvesting where legal. In addition to having state-specific Bank Your Vote websites for all 50 states, the RNC’s Bank Your Vote website is also now available in 16 different languages to continue the RNC’s investment and outreach to minority communities. The Bank Your Vote websites will not only inform voters, but also help them request a ballot online or by mail, register to vote, check their registration, find their early voting location, or even find their polling place on Election Day. As the election year progresses, additional features will be added and these tools will be enabled on each site to empower voters to bank their vote. For an early example of how this works, visit iowacaucus.gop. Bank Your Vote comes as the RNC establishes a full-time Election Integrity Department this cycle as a permanent part of the RNC’s infrastructure. The RNC has hired political and election integrity staff in 15 key states, including important House and Senate states, such as New York, California, and Montana. The 2022 midterm cycle was the RNC’s first opportunity to build an election integrity program due to a recently-lifted Consent Decree brought by Democrats which prohibited our participation in election integrity activities. The program was unprecedented in both scale and success, effectively completing a transition away from pop-up-shop style election operation to year-round infrastructure with tens of thousands of poll watchers and poll workers and dozens of key litigation wins. We will continue to file key lawsuits, hire in-state election integrity directors and counsels in our target states, and continue to recruit and train tens of thousands of poll watchers and poll workers. Currently, the RNC is engaged in over 72 lawsuits in 20 states across the country. 42 of those lawsuits are focused on safeguarding mail voting.

Bank Your Vote will be critical to getting Republicans to vote early or by mail to beat Joe Biden and Democrats in November.
