Most big companies have one. Is it too expensive? It seems like a mobile app would be the best form of voter outreach to come around in a long time. Instead, they're still sending out fundraising mail, calling people on the phone to try to get donations, and sending emails, most of which end up in spam. An app could be a unified platform for all Republican candidates across the country. It could incorporate features such as:
- Notifications of upcoming elections
- Voter Registration
- Voter guides and links to candidates sites, local and national
- Access to ride sharing in order to get people to the polls
- Instant financial contributions via Apple Pay/Google Pay
- Forums and action items
- Fundraisers and rallies
- Issues education
- Daily talking points
And many others I'm sure. They really need to step up their tech game.

Most of that can be done with an SMS message containing a link to a website. My wife (an independent) keeps getting unsolicited text messages on her phone and is getting very irritated by it. So, someone somewhere, bought her cell phone number from another entity.
