“We’ve been playing checkers, and the Democrats have been playing chess. Unfortunately, we don’t have one day of voting, we don’t have paper ballots, we don’t have voter ID everywhere. So we have to play the hand that we’re dealt. We need to be doing legal ballot harvesting — something that has never been done by the RNC, but I can promise you will be a huge part of what we’re planning to do.
“And then come Election Day, and you’ll see that, I think, it’s not just about having poll watchers. It’s about having trained poll watchers and lawyers at locations around the country as necessary. And these are people who will be trained and able to physically count how many ballots are coming in. And how many ballots are going out.” – RNC co-chair Lara Trump, speaking to the Washington Examiner.
As you probably know, ballot harvesting, which is the “gathering and submitting of completed absentee or mail-in voter ballots by third-party individuals, volunteers, or workers” has long been central to GOP/QAnon claims of rigged/stolen elections.
