Lara Trump vows RNC will 'physically handle the ballots' in 2024 presidential election

Former President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, the newly-minted co-chair of the Republican National Committee, vowed that the party will be getting its hands on ballots directly in order to ensure no funny business in the 2024 election.

"We now have the ability at the RNC not just to have poll watchers — people standing in polling locations — but people who can physically handle the ballots," she said in an interview on the far-right Newsmax cable network on Tuesday.

Asked if her paid monitors will be stationed directly inside polling places, she confirmed they would.

"So there was a moratorium for about 40 years on the RNC actually training people to work in these polling locations," she said, referring to a consent decree running from 1982 to 2018 limiting Republican poll watcher activity after a series of illegal attempts to challenge voter eligibility in Black and Latino neighborhoods in New Jersey.

"That gives us a great ability, heading into what I assume everyone understands is the most important election of our lifetimes," she added.

Lara and other Trump loyalists' rise to power at the RNC has recently raised concerns about whether committee funds will be used to pay Trump's legal fees and questions about proposals to defund minority outreach centers across the country.

Trump and many of his allies have long insisted, with no credible evidence, that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

The former president is currently facing criminal charges in both Washington, D.C. and Georgia on accusations he schemed to try to block that election from being certified.
