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.

500 lawyers?
Big deal.
The democrats station lawyers at nearly every precinct, ready to challenge and threaten any Republican poll watcher who may question a democrat fraudulent voter. Especially where democrats control the elections.
Republican lawyers sit around election headquarters drinking coffee and schmoozing with politicians, never getting the hands dirty out in the field where fraud is taking place.
500 lawyers wouldn’t even cover the number of precincts in a major city.
Remember, it is in democrat cities where most fraud takes place. Guaranteed that none of those measly 500 lawyers will be seen in the precincts of Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, where the hundreds of thousands of fake ballots will be collected. None of those lawyers will be poised to file restraining orders or injunctions in those cities while the crimes are actually happening. Compare to democrats, who have judges lined up to extend voting hours, count unsigned ballot envelopes, block Republican poll watchers, etc.
Sorry Lara, but 500 lawyers is a joke.
She has her hands full to BEAT THE CHEATS! Trump should state emphatically that when he’s elected all vote fraud will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Yes, it won’t stop fraud but maybe a few will think twice.
“This problem should have been solved by Trump well before now. “
What makes you think it hasn’t?
Trump is a private citizen. How is supposed to “fix” the problem? Shouldn’t Republicans in congress have something to say about democrat cheating? Lazy people just want to sit back and let Trump do all the heavy lifting.
GREAT.
GREAT. You know THE DEMOCRATS WILL CHEAT.
No! Congree should do the “threatening! Advising Trump to throw out threats at this point is just plain dumb. Glad you aren’t his advisor.
This pleases me and I’d be signing up if my state wasn’t 100% mail-in (enemy territory).
Poll watchers were there the last time. But they were kicked out when they started to count the ballots.
My point.
