RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump says they will now be recruiting & training people to get jobs as poll workers who handle & count ballots, and says Trump will end early and mail-in voting in America if elected. https://t.co/VE13ZXuEQx

First, she said that the RNC will, for the first time, start an initiative where they recruit and train people to then get jobs as poll workers around the country so they have their MAGA partisans counting the ballots. In the past, both parties have always recruited "poll observers" who watch poll workers as they count the ballots. But this is much different.

Remember four years ago, when Trump had the entirety of the administrative power of the Federal government at his command, and he couldn’t organize a two-car funeral procession, much less a national response to Covid?

Poll workers are not run by the parties. They're hired by local election officials.

Poll *observers* are put there by the parties, but they are not permitted to touch or handle ballots.

You would think an RNC co-chair would know that. https://t.co/9ohNoTKOpL

This is Lara Trump talking, the woman who wrote an email and thinks that was an Herculean effort. But the idea is daddy-in-law Trump’s. Neither Trump nor his son’s wife are capable of organizing the effort it would take to attempt to make this mad scheme work. Texas alone has 256 counties, which means 256 county clerks in charge of elections, and I honestly can’t begin to calculate how many polling places in each county. Hundreds, is my guess, in populous areas like Harris County, the Dallas-Fort Worth area, San Antonio and Austin. Early voting runs for about 2 weeks (give or take) prior to Election Day. There are generally more polling places open during that period.. The idea the RNC under Lara Trump is going to organize thousands of election workers for Texas alone and place them in counties that are primarily Democratic (the urban centers of Texas), is not just laughable, it’s delusional.

And then there’s the rest of the country. Aside from the need of the RNC to focus on closing the gap between the money the Democrats have on hand already, and the money the RNC has.

This idea is as mad as Trump’s delusion that he did everything right for the country during the pandemic. 😷  This plan is not a grim shadow of the shape of things to come. It’s the mad babbling of yet more incompetents ushered into power by the Incompetent-in-Chief. Well, they think it’s power. A local HOA has more authority than the RNC is going to wield.
