Lara Trump Boasts RNC Will Have ‘People Who Can Physically Handle Ballots’ on Election Day

L. Trump: “Well, under two months. I mean, I think it’s been four and a half weeks now since Michael Whatley, the chairman, and I have been at the RNC. And obviously, we’ve been working really hard. I think the most recent thing to report is that we are working hard on election integrity, and we just announced last week that we have 100,000 committed people who are going to be trained as poll workers. So, Eric, leading up to this election, I think we can all see the most important thing — aside from getting out the vote — is protecting that vote. We now have the ability at the RNC not just to have poll watchers, people standing in polling locations, but people who can physically handle the ballots. We want people all across this country — “
BOLLING: “Can we do this? I want to hear, this is really fascinating to me. So you have 100,000 people who are — are they — I think I saw ‘paid’ at one point, but whatever, irrelevant. So they will be stationed inside polling places? I didn’t even know you could do that. Tell us about it.”
L. Trump: “Yeah. So there was a moratorium for about 40 years on the RNC actually training people to work in these polling locations and the tabulation centers where the mail-in ballots come in. And last year, the judge who implemented that passed away, so that was lifted. And that gives us a great ability as we head into what I assume everyone understands is the most important election of our lifetime. So we have this ability. These are — these are volunteers, most of these people. Protectthevote.com if people want to join our team. We train them to actually work in these polling locations. And think about how much better off that makes us in terms of transparency, Eric. We all know 2020 was not all on the up and up. People had a lot of unanswered questions. We can never repeat that. So in addition to these poll workers, we’re going to have lawyers in all the major polling locations across the country. We have lawsuits in 81 states right now. We won, about a week and a half ago, a huge lawsuit in the state of Pennsylvania. The Democrats, of course, were trying to make it easier to cheat and wanted to take the dating off of mail-in ballots. We won that, and that means we have precedent. In every state, we can apply the same measures. So we’re working hard to ensure election integrity, because that is the most important thing we can do right now as we head into 2024. We have an election integrity division for the first time at the RNC. So you are going to see a marked difference as you head out to early vote — and I want to tell everybody go early vote. I know we like to go vote on Election Day, but we have to make it too big to rig, Eric. We need everybody out voting as soon as they can, and then taking people from that day up to Election Day to go vote. It is the most important thing that we can do.”
