Press Release

Chairwoman McDaniel: The RNC Has Built The Largest Election Integrity Team

CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: It is still in the Republican Party, concerns about election integrity. 2020 was a different election. There was more mail-in ballots than ever. Many of the safeguards of voter ID were removed. And you see Georgia and Florida and Texas and other states that passed comprehensive election reform that require voter ID for absentee ballots. That's just common sense. It is where most Americans are - they agree that we should show our ID to vote and Democrats don't. And get rid of ballot harvesting and get rid of drop boxes and have same-day voting. These are commonsense measures that will ensure integrity in the election. And the problem is, Martha, Democrats want the delta to be longer than ever. They want to vote earlier and then count the ballots as late as possible, so it's like a two-month delta. When you have this type of delay in counting the ballots, it always creates concern with voters - and that's why Republicans have stepped up. The RNC has built the largest election integrity team across the country heading into 2022 in November. And this is something that's necessary to ensure our voters that we are watching, and we're going to make sure it's transparent and fair.

Chairwoman McDaniel: Republicans Must Be United To Defeat Democrats In November

CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: I think we’re going to get past this primary season and I’m going to be so grateful when we do and we really focus on the Democrats. I mean, we have rising inflation, we have a baby formula crisis, we have a border that is surging, we have a drug crisis, we have what's happening in Ukraine, we have gas prices going through the roof. I think in the end, yes, we're going to have some contention through primaries - that always happens. But when the dust settles, Republicans are going to unite - including President Trump, to make sure that we win back the House and the Senate. We know what is at stake for the American people, and we know that if we are fighting or disagreeing among each other we are hurting our message in talking about what the Democrats are doing and the failure that they've brought to the American people.
