The only problem is that Trump keeps spoiling the script.
For more than a year in Erie County, in the swing state's northwestern corner, Eddy has tried to persuade people to vote by mail.
At first, he was laughed at or ignored, with Trump supporters at rallies echoing the former president's long-debunked claims that postal ballots are fraudulent. But Eddy didn't take it personally.
As the Republican Party chair in Erie, the determined 75 year old has not given up, volunteering every day to change people's minds, with only one goal in his own: winning. Unlike last time.
"That's what lost the race for Trump. We got clobbered," he says of the 2020 election, recalling how he watched mail-in votes for Joe Biden outnumber those for Trump by as much as 100 to one in some batches.
