Lara Trump Alarms Critics With 'Frightening' Comment About RNC's Election Plans

"Sounds like a perfect authoritarian election plan to me," fascism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat commented.

Lara Trump said Tuesday that the Republican National Committee has “people who can physically handle the ballots” at election polling sites, alarming critics.

The RNC co-chair made the comment while speaking to Newsmax host Eric Bolling about the GOP’s plans for the 2024 election.

Peddling election fraud falsehoods made famous by her father-in-law, Donald Trump, Lara Trump discussed the RNC’s plans for a major so-called “election integrity” operation.

The RNC recently pledged to deploy 100,000 volunteers and attorneys to polling sites this year as observers to “protect the vote and ensure a big win.”

1. Not in my state she doesn't.

I’m guessing she’s wrong about your state too. This sounds like the kind of test balloon BS they send up to see if they can claim a non-existent privilege and see if anyone objects.

2. This is complete insanity.

I’m guessing that she will be fund raising off of this cockamamie idea. I will be calling my BOE to see if they have been informed 🤣😁 All laughter aside I will make the call tomorrow!

3. With what? How much more money will down ballot republicans be screwed out of? Seems like it would be

a little expensive to hire goons to harass voters at the polls. I doubt they get to just show up either. They have to be certified in some way even if it's a joke in some states. Not many people will jump through hoops like that at their own expense.

I'll probably vote by mail and walk to the downtown polling place on election day to see what's going on. I'm in Idaho. My polling place is a church. If republicans were going to pull anything it would be at the community center downtown. If there are any MAGAt jackasses there causing trouble I want to see who it is and get video.

4. Wouldn't put this past them. They better not, that's all i can say.

Talk about a civil war, if they mess with this election. They DO need to be watched very close in the red states especially.

5. Maybe a suggestion for election day voters.

Make sure phones are fully charged.

Ready to take videos of any possible problems.
