Our team is already working hand-in-hand with the staff at the RNC as one very lean and mean machine, as we like to call it, with one goal, and that goal is victory for Republicans up and down the ballot on November 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have the team, now it\u2019s time to deploy the troops on the ground. We have an amazing volunteer-led effort right now in all of the battleground states, in addition to our great paid staff who will be making direct voter contact every single hour of every day between now and November 5th to get out the vote. A large part of this is also educating voters on the laws within their state. If you live in an early voting state, we encourage you to get out and vote early, cast your ballot. You don\u2019t know what could happen to you on election day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we\u2019re also investing a lot of money into voter integrity efforts to ensure that every American knows their ballot will be cast and counted and matter, and we\u2019re gonna play offense this time around. We\u2019re not gonna play defense like we unfortunately did in 2020. We\u2019re gonna have soldiers, poll watchers on the ground who are making sure that there are no irregularities and fraud like we saw in the last election cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guilfoyle replied, \u201cI love it. I cannot wait. It\u2019s gonna be fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This is hardly the first time Trump has called for backup at the polls. During the 2020 election, the then-President encouraged supporters to stay vigilant and independently monitor polling stations for evidence of fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am encouraging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully because that\u2019s what has to happen,\u201d said Trump at the time. \u201cI am urging them to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is this a step too far?
