No, it does not. It simply helps make it easier for folks to vote and when you get used having a ballot in your mailbox, you remember to vote. It forms a habit of voting. So, the more one party gets their base to enroll in VBM, the fewer outreach they will have to get those folks to vote. With limited time and resources, that is critical. If you can bank on your base to vote for you with VBM, you can reach traditional “Election Day voters.”
