Republican National Committee ( RNC ) chairman Michael Whatley, who was recently installed, renewed his pledge on Saturday that poll workers will be “going to be in the room” when early votes are cast and tallied in November.
The Hill reports Whatley said the RNC is going to “ensure” each state has” good rules of the road” and” thousands” of attorneys present when votes are being cast to make sure ballots are “protected” and election integrity preserved.
Whatley apparently said in an interview with radio talk show host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s” Cat Roundtable” that” we want to make sure that every state has great rules of the road, right.”

” So we’re working with the parliament, we’re working with the planks of elections, the Secretary of State to make sure that the legislation, the laws, the regulations, that cover votes are where we need them to be”, he said.
If any rules or commitments are broken, he claimed, the council will file a lawsuit.
Whatley revealed he has previously filed 80 claims in 24 unique states to ensure there will be “good, good” election rules in place, with the necessity of “being in the room” being made clear, appealing:
You have to be in the area. When the vote are being cast and the seats are being counted, there must be spectators and lawyers present.
So we’re currently recruiting tens of thousands of individuals and lawyers from across the nation but that we can be present when the election season begins.
When asked if the party would instantly encourage the GOP electorate to cast ballots early, he responded,” to the extent that we can before they go vote.”
Whatley and , co- chairwoman Lara Trump , used their initial combined interview after locking down the positions next month to discuss to Breitbart News a “new dawn” has set in at the GOP’s major party committee.
The Republican National Committee is “absolutely focused on electing Donald Trump as president,” according to RNC Chairman Whatley. https ://t.co/QBdg6UYlPq

Everything is about winning, he said, and ensuring a Trump victory in November.
In order to accomplish that, Whatley said, the group is aiming to make sure the “rules of the road” are laid out in every state before the election time.
