Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump discussed the organization’s commitment to fight for election integrity during a Sunday interview with Fox host Maria Bartiromo.
Whatley said that the RNC is “hiring election integrity directors and election integrity counsels in all of our battleground states to make sure that we’re working with the state governments and the local governments all across the board to get the rules of the road right.”
He continued, stating that the RNC wants “fair, accurate, secure, and transparent elections.” Whatley noted that once that is achieved, the RNC is “gonna protect the sanctity of that ballot.” He added that the RNC will “make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.”
Last month, the RNC led a lawsuit to a federal appeals court in Pennsylvania, which resulted in the court ruling that all mail-in ballots received in the state must be signed and dated, or they would not count.
Lara Trump previously discussed the RNC’s plans to stay ahead of the game during an interview with Sean Hannity. She said that the organization would be hiring “trained poll watchers, poll observers, poll workers, people in tabulation centers all across this country.”
