“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.
“So, there was a moratorium for about 40 years on the RNC actually training people to work in these polling locations and the tabulation centers where the mail-in ballots come in.
“And last year, the judge who implemented that passed away. So, that was lifted, and that gives us a great ability as we head into what I assume everyone understands is the most important election of our lifetime.
“So we have this ability. These are volunteers, most of these people.” – Lara Trump, last night on Newsmax.
The above-cited “moratorium” was actually a 1982 consent decree imposed on the Republican Party due to its pattern of intimidating black voters at polling locations. The decree expired in 2018.
