RNC recruits poll workers in Michigan as part of vote monitoring efforts
National Republicans kicked off recruiting efforts in Michigan in an effort to build up an Election Day army of poll workers and monitors intended to combat the infrequent problem of voter fraud.
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — National Republicans kicked off their in-person recruiting efforts in the crucial battleground state of Michigan on Friday 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 project it announced in April that seeks to deploy 100,000 volunteers and attorneys — predominantly in seven swing states — to monitor the vote.
