United States: On Friday, the Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee unveiled a plan to fight voter fraud before the November election. However, a plethora of studies and numerous examinations of the presence of illegal voting across the United States found very few instances of irregularities.

Strengthening Election Security

The RNC and the Trump campaign said they were ready to send over 100 thousand lawyers and volunteers into states they expect to be competitive in the election contest, as reported by Reuters.

A spokesperson for the Republican Party and the Trump campaign said they would recruit an army of poll watchers to supervise each polling location individually.

Election Integrity Hotline and Legal Oversight

On the other hand, attorneys will be set up in “Republican Party War Rooms” in competitive states. They will operate the “Election Integrity Hotline” and answer calls from poll watchers or voters who have noticed questionable events.

“Having the right people to count the ballots is just as important as turning out voters on Election Day,” Trump said in a statement.

“Republicans are now working together to protect the vote and ensure a big win on November 5th!”

The RNC implemented the Voter Integrity Program during the 2022 congressional elections, and it seems to have indicated an attempt to expand such a scale and vision in 2024.

The Committee has already been involved in 82 lawsuits in 25 states related to the integrity of elections since the beginning of this election campaign, the RNC announced in a statement on Friday.

Voter Fraud

Since the commencement of the 2022 reelection campaign, Trump has that he has lost the 2020 election through conspiracies of widespread voter fraud, which lacks substantial evidence and has led to a sweeping down in scores of failed lawsuits that were intended to make the election illegal.

The charges were joined by a lot of Trump’s politicians in the Congress also, which ultimately have been accepted by an overwhelming majority of the Republican electorate. It is certain, though, that the latter does not feel Biden was legitimately elected according to the opinion polls.

While campaigning, Trump is trying to label the Democrats as skillful cheaters while they are genuinely loyal voters who can not be trusted.

During his speech in Iowa in December, he told audiences to stay ready to “guard the vote” in Democratic-run cities, and lately, he has told his supporters that the election in war is too big for the Democrats to rig.

Counterclaims and Response

In response to the most recent movement in the GOP, the Biden campaign diverted attention to the Democratic National Committee. The DNC blamed the Trump campaign and the RNC for attempting to reflect on the voting in November.

“Donald Trump knows he’s running a losing campaign, so he’s working with his handpicked team of election deniers at the RNC to once again lay the groundwork to undermine our democracy and spread baseless lies about a rigged election,” said DNC spokesperson Alex Floyd, as reported by Reuters.

Although the Republican poll watchers had been, for the most part, remained peaceful, there are many reports that some of these officials who are serving as poll watchers have allegedly intimidated voters in critical states like North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada that have drawn the attention of the election officials.
