How Team Trump Turned The RNC Into A Get-Out-The-Vote Machine
The Federalist ^ | December 13, 2024 | Breccan F. Thies

Posted on 12/14/2024 11:36:50 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

In order to sustain a successful political operation for an election win this year, former Republican National Committee Co-chair Lara Trump said that both firings and an intense focus on election integrity were required.

Trump took over leadership of the RNC with chairman Michael Whatley in March after a contentious seven years under former Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel. McDaniel’s tenure was highlighted by losing or underperforming in every election cycle she oversaw, as well as a scandal in which the RNC under her leadership was caught spending an enormous amount of donor money on private jets, luxury retreats, floral arrangements, cosmetics, and more.

McDaniel’s embattled tenure, coupled with the grave concerns about how the 2020 election was run and Americans’ subsequent lack of trust that it was conducted fairly, resulted in an overhaul at the RNC. The overhaul was driven by Republicans who believed both that there was very little integrity in elections generally and that the RNC was doing nothing to solve the issues.

Trump, speaking with PragerU about reforms she and Whatley made after taking over control from McDaniel, said, “Previously, people were very nervous about discussing election integrity. It got people upset, and it was a hot-button topic for a lot of people: You could be heavily criticized for even contemplating that there could be a problem in our voting process.”

“But if you have half the country thinking … that their vote isn’t going to matter or that there’s some something nefarious going on, that’s a big problem,” she added.

Amazing how well an engine runs when something as simple as having the spark plug wires in the right place.

The more you watch, the less cheating occurs.

I volunteered to be a polling place observer for a couple of elections in Yuma County, Arizona.

One of the things the county Chairman did when he took over was to ensure we had poll watchers at all the places we suspected cheating. We did not catch any cheaters directly, but, “mysteriously”, the Republican percentage of votes at those locations increased significantly.

She did help Trump beat the cheat gap. Unfortunately the rats still stole 4 Senate races and a dozen or more House seats. No one who matters has said a word about that.

All of the actions herein described, the article does a disservice to Charlie Kirk, whose massive campus get-out-the-vote effort sealed the deal in that demographic.

This shows EVERYONE just how bad the Republican Party had become. Many here, me included, figured that the party was PARANOID about people finding out about the extensive cheating by the Democrats, which is sickening - we were PROTECTING the Democrats.

But when ballots were pulled out from under a table in Atlanta, in an area cleared of Republicans, but thankfully not cleared of cameras, we all got to see it, front and center.

Democrat policy and Kamala Harris as candidate was the reason it happened. Look at the pardons and get a real understanding.

It wouldn't have been possible without Elon Musk.

Joe Rogan's endorsement closed the deal at the end

You only have to look at the vote totals in 2020 to know there was extensive fraud. Biden, who never got outside his basement the whole time, supposedly got 81.3 million votes. Obama got 69.5M in 2008 and 65.9M in 2012, Hillary got 65.9M also in 2016. Kamala Harris got 75M in 2024.

There is less than zero chance that Biden, a guy that most people find creepy and repulsive, got 6 million more votes than any other democrat in history. That's like telling me that Rosie O'Donnell won the olympics 100 meter hurdles, you can say it all day long but there's no way it happened.

One of Trump's first actions as president needs to be to form an investigative commission of LOYAL and competent people to do a deep dive audit of the 2020 election results and figure out where and how the fraud happened, then those responsible need to be prosecuted.

We have to let them win a few to pacify them. Controlled opposition.

What about all those ads I saw on the net that said
you could look up anybody to see how many times they
voted. Anyone else remember that?

My thoughts at the time was that Republican supporters
did that to scare cheating Democrats into voting only
once. Maybe it worked (-:

A few?? 4 Senate seats, a dozen or more House seats and God knows what else is a hell of a lot.

Protesters rally against Ronna McDaniel January, 2023. The protesters were supporting McDaniel's challenger Harmeet Dhillon, who is now President-elect Trump's nominee for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.

I said it over and over...The Dems are good at getting out the vote...paying attention to particular districts. Pure Math!! We beat them at their own game...

True. The Dems switched the fix to down ballot races. The split vote difference between president and senate/house are preposterous. Why would someone vote for Trump and not a Republican senator or house rep? Diabolical.
