Six months before a presidential election in which turnout could matter more than persuasion, the Republican Party, the Trump campaign and conservative activists are mounting an aggressive national effort to shape who gets to vote in November — and whose ballots are counted...
...The Republican program, which has gained steam in recent weeks, envisions recruiting up to 50,000 volunteers in 15 key states to monitor polling places and challenge ballots and voters deemed suspicious. That is part of a $20 million plan that also allots millions to challenge lawsuits by Democrats and voting-rights advocates seeking to loosen state restrictions on balloting. The party and its allies also intend to use advertising, the internet and Trump’s command of the airwaves to cast Democrats as agents of election theft.
The efforts are bolstered by a 2018 federal court ruling that for the first time in nearly four decades allows the national Republican Party to mount campaigns against purported voter fraud without court approval.

Unless you stop mail in ballots and ballot harvesting, your just pissing up a rope. You cant stop or control the fraud. You may get Trump elected, but you will loose the house and senate guarenteed. They have to get in front of this, NOW!
GOP also needs to working on doing its own ballot harvesting.
The Republicans want only citizens to vote, and for each citizen to only vote once. That this is controversial shows how far gone things are.
Agreed but this isn’t that issue. This is at the polls and it’s one good part of the puzzle.
It is about time. The dems and the unions have been “harvesting” ballots for many years.
True, but while they are looking for the one little piece, the bigger peice that will throw the election like they have thrown countless elections is mail fraud! The post office tends to pick up only democrap mail for some reason.
The story never points out that democrats do this on every election, always have.
The story says, “Its premise is that a Republican victory in November is imperiled by widespread voter fraud, a baseless charge embraced by President Donald Trump, but repeatedly debunked by research.”
Filthy, lying scoundrels.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, they’re just pulling our legs.
How did ballot harvesting work out for the Dems in CA 25?
This country had more justice 100 years ago than we do today.
This country had more justice 100 years ago than we do today.
We already have.
It should be the death penalty for and illegal or other non-citizen to vote in our elections. They are saboteurs.
Excellent point!
When there is no serious downside to cheating, the democrats keep cheating.
One can always count on Yahoo to toe the party line.
Absolutely!
The cheating will not be happening in the polling places so much but thru the mail and thru “harvested” ballots.
How long before the 9th circus court reverses this decision?
If the pubbies are serious we can prevent 98% of in person voter voter fraud, {I know, I've been an on site poll watcher for 20 years, and it works}.
The real problem is mail in states, and ballot harvesting, especially at old folks homes.
Now after all of the chi-com virus deaths, these dead people will vote twice as much as before.
While that sounds like a joke, it is a fact.
The problem is getting people to go into some of these polling places, as there are over 11,000 in PA alone.
I go into one that is in a minority area, very rough territory, but I carry three pistols and would never go to watch a school, because you cannot carry into a school.
I would NEVER go unarmed into any of these rough polling places.
