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.

“ Only needed in a relatively few polling locations. Urban districts in swing states.”
That’s right. Specific districts in specific states.
Those will also be the hardest to get observers in.
No, everyone needs to get involved. Volunteer! Plenty of time.
Won’t help in Philadelphia where the sheriff is a democrat hack. During the last election, he threw out the Republican poll watchers. The lawyers came back with an order from a judge to let them in and he ignored it.
This problem should have been solved by Trump well before now. This is the story of the documentary 2000 Mules. I believe all the evidence of fraud should have been addressed by now with a solution. This seems good intentioned but I don’t know how effective it will be. Are they ready for violence? Lawyers won’t cut as was seen in the last election.
Better lawyers will. Last time around all Trump hired or received as volunteers were crackpots and drunks.
DJT should threaten to charge any cheaters as felons. That would scare them off even if he charge a few hundred. Just make it high profile.
Two track system.
The same day voting is pretty well regulated as long as you have a poll watcher to keep them honest
Tons of fraud in the mail in ballots which are totally uncontrolled and the ballot harvesting that goes along with the mail in ballots is blatant. Democrat vote harvesters wearing dark blue tee shirts with white get out the vote slogans bringing in groups of illegals with mail in ballots.
The illegals hand the ballots over to the ballot harvester at the door of the voting station who then takes them into the station and pops them into the mail in ballot box. The illegals are all peeking nervously into the door to watch their ballots being inserted into the ballot box.
This is the way they get around the fact that ballot harvesting is illegal in our state.
There is no requirement for ID on the mail in ballots what so ever and it is actually illegal for poll workers to ask people turning in mail in ballots in person for ID.
The poll workers refused to even accept the offer of legit, properly registered voters to check their ID to verify their identity when bringing in their mail in ballots on election day. Republicans need to learn to use the ballot harvesting ploy or they are going to get blown out in every election.
Poll workers are a great thing but they have no power what so ever. If they even so much as talk to voter they will kicked out of the facility. All poll workers can do is call a legal representative of the Republican party to come in make a complaint.
The time to use the lawyers is NOW. If 2020 showed anything it’s this, waiting to sue u til after the cheat is folly. Go after the dems now.
So you’ve already signed up to be a poll watcher then?

Deciding on whether to be an election worker or an observer.
Good for you. I’m going to be a poll watcher myself.

When I worked precincts in Virginia poll watchers were directly behind workers, within sight of what poll watchers are doing. In Nevada, they are corraled across the room, unable to see details, which limits observations. I’m tending to be a worker because working directly I can also be a better observer.
Agreed it is not enough. They need to aim much higher. I worked as a poll watcher in 2012 and 2016. Need at least 2 in each precinct, probably better to have 4 or more. 500000 are needed, and probably at least 2500 lawyers. It’s going to be ugly, and the Republican Party. Has been free of the consent decree that had tied their hands for decades until 2018 preventing ballot security measures being taken by the national party. Trumps team needs to invest more than ever, look at all that can now be legally done to prevent the fraud.
I’m pleased to see you’ve thought this through.
Good luck.

The only solution is paper ballot submitted in person with voter ID. The drop boxes can be stuffed with phony ballots. Same with mail-in ballots.
We finally have someone fighting for election integrity in Republican Party national leadership, and here you are slamming it. WTH?
If there are not Near Field, all forms of bluetooth and WiFi jammers preventing vote count changing it won’t matter.
Obviously also no wired internet or any USB or type of COMMs port access including HDMI and display port that has network access.
Instant sequester of every vote machine will require a full forensic exam the moment polls are closed.
Chain of custody is everything. Assume the worst of any bi-pod life form.
“Lara Trump is building an army of ‘100,000 poll watchers and over 500 lawyers’ to ‘deploy’ across America in November!!!! Free Republic Surrender Monkey Caucus hardest hit - Democrat/communist damaged - details at 10.”
We need ballot chasers too, like this young man is doing
