WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Fox News reported on the RNC’s new multimillion-dollar investment in election integrity staff across 17 states ahead of the midterms.
"Fresh
off declaring 'victory' over Virginia’s roughly $65 million redistricting
ballot measure — which Republicans criticized as a 'dark money'-backed
gerrymander — the Republican National Committee is looking to capitalize on
that momentum.
"Describing
the RNC as 'disciplined and ruthless,' Chairman Joe Gruters revealed that the
committee launched a multimillion-dollar election integrity push ahead of the
2026 midterms.
"The
effort involves hiring directors in 17 states to recruit poll workers, poll
watchers and election observers, while coordinating legal and Election Day
oversight across key battlegrounds, Fox News Digital has learned.
"The
directors will be the legal 'eyes and ears on every vote cast and counted' in
every battleground these midterms, according to officials. It is all coming
from the top down, echoing President Donald Trump's longstanding argument
that the people counting votes are as important as those casting them.
"'President
Trump made it clear in 2024: secure our elections — and we haven’t let up
since,' Gruters said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 'We’re building a
ground game across the country with poll workers, poll watchers and lawyers to
protect every legal ballot.'
"'This
is a permanent, nationwide effort backed by legal muscle and disciplined
operations. The RNC is all-in, year-round, to safeguard election integrity and
ensure only legal votes count,' he added..."
