Former President Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump is praising the RNC’s voter efforts in Pennsylvania.
The RNC co-chairwoman spoke at a tour stop for the RNC’s “Protect The Vote” in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, according to The Washington Examiner.
“We from the RNC have put in place an incredible election integrity program,” she said. “This is unlike anything we’ve ever done before, and it is to ensure free, fair, and transparent elections.”
The RNC is reportedly aiming to recruit at least 5,000 volunteers in Pennsylvania, with Lara Trump saying the committee wants “to have an army of people across this country, 100,000 people strong, working around the country to ensure integrity in our election.”
The initiative is designed to “champion election integrity, rally voters for President Trump, and train volunteers to ensure it is easy to vote and hard to cheat this November,” according to an RNC press release. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley added of the poll watchers and workers, “If this thing goes smoothly, this is a very boring job. And that’s really what we want is we want to make sure that all of the systems are going to operate very smooth — we want it to be fair, accurate, secure, and transparent.”
Democrats responded to the effort:
“Donald Trump is terrified that Pennsylvania voters will hand him another defeat in November, so he and his Republican allies are using whatever resources they have left to spread dangerous lies about rigged elections,” Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Addy Toevs told the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. “The truth is much simpler than that: Trump is a loser. Trump knows that his best shot at a victory in November is to attempt to undermine our democratic process, just like he tried and failed to do in 2020.”
Pennsylvania has a critical 19 electoral votes and is rated as a “toss-up” state by the Cook Political Report.
Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by 2.3 percentage points in RealClearPolling’s average for the state.
How does one become a “Pole Watcher”? Response welcomed. Thanks,
I am a dedicated Conservative and have, and will continue to financially contribute to MAGA campaign. THAT IS: I will cease contributing until RNC stops LARA
TRUMP from making inflammatory public statements. She is in over her head, and this coming election is too serious to lose. She, I believe. Is costing
Pres Trump votes. Gennaro Pupa
