Conservatives have more of a "get out and do it" attitude rather than a "stay in the recliner and just mail it in" one.
It's possible there were quite a few Republicans that didn't cast a vote in the last two cycles because they were unable to do it in person and felt like mailing it in was a little beneath them or cheap, so... if the R's concentrate on encouraging mail ins and actively harvesting ballots like the D's have done as of late, it could make a pretty sizable difference in 2024.
