RNC recruits poll workers in Michigan as part of vote monitoring efforts
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — National Republicans kicked off their in-person recruiting efforts Friday in the crucial battleground state of Michigan as part of their broader effort to build up an Election Day army of 100,000 poll workers and monitors intended to combat the infrequent problem of voter fraud.
National GOP officials, including Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump, as well as state and local party officials drummed up enthusiasm for the party’s aspirational “Protect the Vote” program at the small Oakland County GOP office, about 30 miles northwest of downtown Detroit.
The event was the first of several organized by the RNC to begin more publicly rolling out its recruitment efforts to staff up the massive election integrity effort it announced in April that seeks to deploy 100,000 volunteers and attorneys — predominantly in seven swing states — to monitor the vote.
In front of a crowd of about 100 people, Whatley and Trump doubled down on their focus on the exceptionally rare problem of voter fraud and pressed attendees to consider volunteering for the effort in Michigan.
