RNC and Trump Campaign Exceed Poll Watcher Goals for Election Integrity Program

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Trump campaign have announced a significant milestone in their election integrity initiative, surpassing 150,000 poll watchers and workers. Initially aiming for 100,000 participants, the RNC described this effort as the "most extensive and monumental election integrity program in the nation’s history." The announcement was made on Monday via social media platform X, highlighting the ambitious scope of the program. Launched earlier in 2024, the election integrity program encompasses five key areas: Logic & Accuracy Machine Testing, Early Voting, Election Day Voting, Mail Ballot Processing, and Post-Election audits. Each battleground state will feature an election integrity hotline, emphasizing the importance of poll watching as a core component of the initiative. The RNC celebrated the approach by hosting a nationwide training event to mark 100 days until the election, aimed at equipping volunteers with the necessary skills and knowledge. Training sessions, both virtual and in-person, will be conducted across 17 states, led by prominent figures within the Trump campaign. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley expressed enthusiasm for the program, declaring it a historic effort to safeguard the electoral process. The initiative is a collaborative effort with the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), marking the first national campaign of its kind. In a related statement, RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump issued a stern warning to potential election cheaters, underscoring the seriousness of the RNC's commitment to ensuring election integrity in the upcoming elections.
