Updated (March 16): This article (NBC News) is a historical reminder regarding Ms. Bobb and her lying on official documents at Mar-a-Lago vis-á-vis the classified doc case. She is now “Senior Counsel for Election Integrity” - I doubt she can even spell integrity let alone practice it...!!! Now more firm grip by Trump.
Original Post Follows Below: The danger is at the top with Trump – cite:
After years of
criticizing mail voting and so-called ballot harvesting as ripe for fraud as
they blame DEMS and Biden, Republicans and Trump now at the top of the RNC (calling it the TNC (Trump National Committee) want that road opened for them in 2024.
Note: Ballot harvesting explained here.
They are poised to launch
aggressive get-out-the-vote campaigns for 2024 that employ just those
strategies, attempting to match the emphasis on early voting Democrats have
used for years to lock in many of their supporters well ahead of Election Day.
The goal is to persuade voters
who support GOP candidates that early voting techniques are secure and to make
sure they are able to return their ballots in time to be counted, thus putting
less pressure on Election Day turnout efforts.
Since 2020, Trump was routinely sowing doubt about mail voting and
encouraging his voters to wait and vote in-person on Election Day.
Republican
activists peddled the stolen election narrative were telling GOP voters who received mail ballots to hold onto
them and turn them in at their polling place on Election Day rather than use
mail or drop boxes.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Now Trump is asking donors to chip in for
his “ballot harvesting fund” – saying in a fundraising email: “Either we ballot
harvest where we can, or you can say goodbye to America!”
Republicans say the shift is needed to ensure GOP victories up and down
the 2024 ballot, arguing they cannot afford to give Democrats any advantage.
At the same time, they acknowledge skepticism from many of
their own voters conditioned by false claims of widespread voter fraud from
Trump and others.
Former RNC Chairwoman, who recently resigned, Ronna Romney McDaniel, said
she opposes ballot collection, then added: “Do I think it’s the most secure
way of voting? No, but if it’s the law, we’re going to have to do it just like
the Democrats are.”

taking over the RNC posted here from POLITICO with this headline:
“Why the GOP
Should Be Very Worried About Trump’s RNC Purge”
My 2 Cents: Well played, Mr. Trump to get your own political party – the TNC – not the age-old RNC and their massive funding pool, too, right?
That is with
Trump’s sister-in-law Lara Trump (Eric’s wife) handing the purse strings at the very top,
um?
Already, big donors are
resisting those takeover and even a brand new group calling themselves: RVAT
(Republican Voters Against Trump) set to raise $50M to defeat him in November. Time will tell if that works,
or not.
Thanks for stopping by.
