The Republican National Committee (RNC) has unanimously approved a major new working group to focus on ballot security measures and support for candidates facing election challenges, following accusations of voting irregularities in key races in Florida, North Carolina, California, and elsewhere. A federal court consent decree, ended last year, had prohibited the RNC from engaging in ballot security activities for nearly 40 years. The aggressive new step, Fox News is told, is meant to level the playing field with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as close elections increasingly become litigious and, in turn, bring discord, division and fiery talking points. In Georgia, for example, defeated Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has claimed democracy "failed" in that contest, though she lost by more than 50,000 votes and had previously criticized President Trump for suggesting he would not accept an unfavorable election outcome. And as Senate and gubernatorial races in Florida headed to a prolonged, flawed and confusing recount process last year, Republicans warned that a swarm of Democratic lawyers were descending on the state in a deliberate effort to "steal the election." In Texas, there were allegations on noncitizen voting. In California, where Republicans suffered major defeats in the fall, Democrats changed the law to permit "ballot harvesting" -- letting campaign operatives take residents' ballots to the polls on their behalf. And in North Carolina, a new election is scheduled in a race that was initially won by a Republican, but that an investigation found to be marked by fraud.

Gee, that is swell. Yet where were they two days ago?
Too late, too little.
SoreLoserC’MonMan!
Oh, just in time for the 2022 election.
DEMS had busloads of lawyers stationed in Detroit at tcf COUNTING CENTER in Detroit per head of DNc ELECTION campaign for BIden for Michigan.
GOP? All we had was one lawyer who caught video of van bringing in boxes of ballots in middle of night. Where were OUR LAWYERS?
Oh, groovy! Let me make a donation... NEVER!
Agreed.
how about four years ago. it’s not like this is the first time the dims have done this.
So some assclown judge gave the assclown Democrats 4 decades of stealing elections without the RNC trying to stop them?
No wonder that assclown Biden is so intent on stealing the election! It is their last freebie.
How on earth did they get under a consent decree like that? It seems unconstitutional on its face.
I actually got into a major (and I mean MAJOR) fight with a family member on FB about those “boxes in the middle of the night” in Detroit.
Turns out it was camera equipment from a local news station. And that news station ran a segment on it later today.
That said, I have no doubt whatsoever that there was MASSIVE fraud in the count here, but we need to be careful of the hills we choose to die on, or the other side is gonna rip us to ribbons - and that is going to impact our credibility in challenging the fraud that DOES exist.
Great find. I’m so glad that the RNC really jumped on this and got seriously ready for the November 3, 2020 election. NINETEEN MONTHS of prep work really paid off.
A$$Holes. It’s almost like the RNC WANTS Biden to win.
Wow, a major new working group, imagine that. Clearly they got everything figured out and fixed in that year and a half.
RNC Advised Against "Ballot Security" Efforts By Members With State Party RolesI've never even heard of this consent decree before. Obama used consent decrees liberally and extensively to look into local police departments, but this is the first that I've heard of the RNC being under one. That BASTARD made it illegal for the RNC to fight voter fraud. Unbelievable."Given the seriousness of the Consent Degree ... you are encouraged not to engage in 'ballot security' activities even in your personal, state party, or campaign capacity." The Michigan and Pennsylvania party chairs — who are both RNC members — went ahead with such activities anyway.
On Oct. 19, 2016, the Republican National Committee's general counsel sent an email warning RNC members that the national party was barred from engaging in "ballot security" measures.
Specifically, RNC general counsel John Ryder wrote that a longstanding court-enforced agreement meant that the RNC or those acting on its behalf could not engage in measures aimed at stopping voter fraud at the polls.
He went further, however, writing, "Given the seriousness of the Consent Degree and the severe consequences of a violation, you are encouraged not to engage in 'ballot security' activities even in your personal, state party, or campaign capacity."
Two of those RNC members are now part of an argument by Democrats that the RNC has violated that agreement — which, if a federal courts agrees, would mean the agreement would be extended for another eight years.
The Democratic National Committee went to court, arguing that, among other issues, two RNC members — one in Michigan and another in Pennsylvania — had taken specific actions violating the longstanding consent decree.
On Wednesday, the RNC's lawyers made the opposite argument of Ryder's October advice — telling a federal judge that the RNC members from Michigan and Pennsylvania could not have their actions "attributed to the RNC" because they were acting solely in their capacity as state party chairs when discussing efforts to address voter fraud at the polls.
"[Pennsylvania Republican Party Chair Robert] Gleason was quoted in the news article in his capacity as State Party Chair, not in his capacity as an RNC member. ... [Michigan Republican Party Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel] was quoted in her capacity as Chairwoman of the Republican Party of Michigan, not in her capacity as an RNC member," the RNC's lawyers write. "When an individual is acting solely in his or her capacity as a state party chair that conduct cannot and should not be attributed to the RNC."
The GD DNC gets to conduct fraud right out in the open and there's no consent decree against them. What a lopsided situation. All of the DNC perps across the land at every level should be tried, convicted and given long terms breaking boulders into gravel.
‘How on earth did they get under a consent decree like that? It seems unconstitutional on its face.”
RNC agreed to it.
“So some assclown judge gave the assclown Democrats 4 decades of stealing elections without the RNC trying to stop them?”
No. A judge got them out of it.
“A federal court consent decree, ended last year, had prohibited the RNC from engaging in ballot security activities for nearly 40 years.”

What??? So they let that decree stand....40 years? Come on. They will continue to do nothing. It ended last year! Nothing done. Everybody knew fraud was headed to this election.
Nothing.
