Lara Trump calls Supreme Court’s Arizona voter decision a ‘huge win’ for RNC – Washington Examiner
Lara Trump, co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), hailed a recent Supreme Court ruling as a significant victory for the RNC regarding voter registration in Arizona, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that only U.S. citizens can vote. The Supreme Court decision reinstated a law requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, countering attempts in Arizona by Democrats to allow voter registration without identification. Trump highlighted the RNC’s efforts to combat electoral fraud, which include recruiting over 165,000 poll watchers and addressing illegal immigrant registrations across states. Additionally, she mentioned an ongoing lawsuit in Michigan related to the hiring disparities of poll workers, wherein only a fraction of the Republican applicants were hired compared to their Democratic counterparts. Trump warned that the RNC will actively pursue and prosecute any attempts at electoral cheating.
Lara Trump calls Supreme Court’s Arizona voter decision a ‘huge win’ for RNC
Republican National Committee co-Chairwoman Lara Trump praised the Supreme Court’s recent decision on voter registration in Arizona, which marked “a huge win” for the RNC’s fight to secure the election.
Trump described a number of steps the RNC is taking to ensure no illegitimate ballots are cast in the 2024 election, including recruiting over 165,000 poll watchers and going to every state to ensure they do not have any illegal immigrants registered to vote. Among the RNC’s efforts that have been successful is the recent Supreme Court decision on Thursday, which reinstated an Arizona law requiring people registering to vote to provide documentary proof of citizenship.
“This is a huge win,” Trump said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “Look, when a federal election is underway, you can only have American citizens voting in that election. Should go without saying, but there are some states that try to push back on that. We took it to the Supreme Court because Democrats in the state of Arizona were attempting to let people register to vote without ID. We said, ‘You need to be able to determine whether or not these are U.S. citizens before they register to vote.’ The Supreme Court agreed with that, and the great news is that it sets precedent across the country so other states can take this and utilize it as well.”
Trump also detailed a lawsuit the RNC is filing in Michigan, which is related to the hiring of poll workers in Wayne County. Of the 700 trained Republican poll workers who applied to work, only 50 were hired compared to the 2,300 Democratic poll workers who were hired.
The RNC co-chairwoman then issued a warning to anyone “who is attempting to cheat in our elections,” saying that the RNC will “track you down and will prosecute you to the full extent of the law.”
“We’re watching everything, we’re filing lawsuits when necessary, and we’re making sure we have people everywhere votes are being cast and counted to have eyes on everything,” Trump said.
When asked about her thoughts on the Democratic National Convention, Trump contended that the whole convention was merely “a lot of Trump-hating,” and that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is largely running on this. She added that her father-in-law, former President Donald Trump, had an actual plan when he became president, whereas the other side has not provided any concrete plans for the future.
Last week, Lara Trump deemed Harris’s campaign “completely phony” and rejected the idea that Harris as president would be any better than Biden’s presidency.
