Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley announced that 157,000 volunteers have been recruited for the Protect The Vote Campaign.
Speaking to Just The News’s John Solomon, Whatley said the initiative’s original goal was to recruit 100,000 volunteers.
“We had set an initial goal of 100,000 when Lara Trump and I took over the RNC just four months ago, and the response has been completely overwhelming,” he said. “People are going to protectthevote.com signing up. We are getting them registered, we are getting them into training, and we’re going to have them in a position where we can deploy them as poll workers and poll observers on election day, and frankly, throughout all of the election period.”
Describing the RNC’s strategy for election integrity, Whatley said it is absolutely critical for us to ensure that every state is going to enforce the law that only American citizens can vote.”
“That is the law of the land in federal elections, and we need every single state to enforce it. We also look at states like Arizona, where they say that only US citizens can vote in the state election. That’s critical, and that’s why we want to make sure that we’re working to protect that.”
The “Protect the Vote” initiative aims to “recruit poll watchers, poll workers, and legal experts to mobilize during the 2024 election season,” according to a press release, adding that the effort’s goals are to “champion election integrity, rally voters for President Trump, and train volunteers to ensure it is easy to vote and hard to cheat this November. ”
