• Voting rights advocates say effort is aimed at creating doubt in the event of a Kamala Harris victory

SANFORD, North Carolina, Oct 24 (Reuters) - "Be aggressive," Jim Womack, a local Republican Party chair in North Carolina, told the grid of faces who joined the Zoom training session for volunteers to monitor voting on Nov. 5. "The more assertive and aggressive you are in watching and reporting, the better the quality of the election."

During the two-hour session, conducted from a Republican Party office featuring a placard of an AR-15 rifle and photos of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Womack, 69, an army veteran and a retired information systems engineer, instructed 40 volunteers on how to spot "nefarious activity." He mentioned a local clergyman who accompanied dozens of Latino parishioners to a voting site "like a shepherd leading a sheep."

 

Voter fraud is exceedingly rare in the United States - despite Trump's false claim, supported by a majority of Republicans in Congress, that the 2020 election was stolen.

U.S. election security officials have said the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history.” A months-long analysis by the Associated Press found fewer than 475 cases of potential voter fraud in the six battleground states challenged by Trump.

Shameful article full of lies.

I do believe that individual voter fraud is not enough to sway most elections but the fraud done by the political machine is massive.

The next Wednesday after Trump wins 300evs....The Gefling press secretary in a day after press conference...”The President is examining numerous reports of Republican irregularities in election and President Biden is not sure he can allow Mr. Trump to assume the office until ALL these allegations are resolved. We are looking at all options.....more to follow” As she scurries away.

Following up.....”President’s Biden secret service detail has not backed down to US Marines insistence to vacate the Whitehouse”. Negotiations are happening to allow him to remain in power until November election irregularities are examined.
