BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump announced Friday from behind a podium in a Detroit suburb that she and the RNC are working to raise a veritable army of “over 100,000 poll watchers and over 500 lawyers” to “deploy” at election sites across the country in November.
These volunteers will have three missions: Watch people vote, watch people count votes, and sue anybody who gets in the way.
“I believe if we have a free, fair and transparent election that there’s no question we’ll all be going to bed early on November 5,” she said.
“And we’ll go to bed knowing Donald Trump is our next president.”
Lara Trump’s vision is to have people “in the room” whenever votes are being counted or cast.
The former president’s daughter-in-law also envisions teams upon teams of (surprisingly free) volunteer lawyers that can respond to any resistance from poll officials on the ground with “quick and effective” litigation.
Following her remarks — which were full of militaristic language such as “deploy” and “battleground” — the assembled volunteers (around 75 in total) began “training” as potential poll watchers.
The press was not allowed to view the training, The Post’s request to view training materials was declined.
“Our people will be taught to be respectful and non-threateninng, but to also follow the law,” said RNC co-chair Michael Whatley.
“Our biggest goals this year with the Trump campaign are to get out the vote and protect the ballot.”
The crowd seemed to appreciate the sentiments.

Look for that sawed-off little Himmler Garland to pull some BS.
Not nearly enough to combat democrat fraud.
They've been watched the past two election cycles. They'll just put up covers to the counting areas in the precincts, use armed guards to remove the "complainers", and fraud away. Tell me I'm wrong.
Good for her.
Cain’t argue with you there.
Gotta cut them off before the ballots get to the counting stage. Jay Valentine on American Thinker hasn’t posted for almost a year now. I’m wondering whether that might be a good thing.
A law suit is a After The Fact of a election steal, which the courts have a history of No Standing when suits are filed.
She needs physical muscle such as sheriff departments that she knows she can count on.
The 2020 election saw plenty of physical exclusion of poll watchers, some backed by local PD.
Force needs to be countered with legal force.
You know what I’m looking forward to? Ruby Freeman and her amazingly talented daughter Shea Shea trying to pull some more shenanigans again, only to be stood down by one of Trump’s new Black supporters. That would be poetic justice.

Best get 5,000 lawyers!
I’d love to see it but I’m not convinced it is real.
Perhaps not. But if and when it does occur, there will be undeniable proof this time.
And no way one observer is enough at any location, especially over the course of the day. Need 2-4 people, probably half-a-million observers. And lawyers, 10 per state, maybe if there are lots of legal support.
Didn’t we try this last time?
Only needed in a relatively few polling locations. Urban districts in swing states.
Sounds like a lot of people for me. Mainly need them in the swing states.
That’s already happened. It’s how Katie Hobbs pulled off the steal in Arizona.
Well then I guess we should just stay home.
Focus on Philadelphia and other urban centers.
