WASHINGTON,
D.C. – Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Maine
Republican Party formally
offered election integrity resources to help restore trust in
Maine Democrats' messy and increasingly chaotic process to replace Graham
Platner.
If there were any authenticity to Democrats' handwringing over "democracy dies in darkness," they would have no problem taking the RNC up on this offer.
"The
Republican National Committee is trolling the Democratic National Committee and
the Maine Democratic Party with an offer to provide election lawyers, trained
observers and other resources as Democrats scramble to replace disgraced Senate
primary candidate Graham Platner.
'So, in a
spirit of generosity we hope will not go unnoticed, the RNC formally offers our
election integrity resources and personnel to ensure a process worthy of
Democrat voters' confidence,' read a copy of the letter obtained exclusively by
Fox News Digital. 'Mainers deserve a nomination that is fair, accessible, and
free from disenfranchisement — and it never hurts to have professionals in the
room...'
The
letter unwinds many of the Democratic Party platform's attacks on Republicans
in a week that featured an unusual Democratic Party debate and President Donald
Trump's primetime White House address on election integrity.
'The RNC
has a deep bench of experienced election attorneys, trained observers, a
dedicated State Election Integrity Director, and nationwide election integrity
resources — all standing by to assist with convention procedures, delegate
credentialing, ballot-counting transparency, and election law compliance,' the
letter read, pointing to its multi-million dollar midterm election integrity
ground game. 'We built this operation to protect elections from exactly this
kind of chaos. We simply never expected the loudest cries for help to come from
inside your own house.'
'As our
friends on the left never tire of reminding us, "democracy dies in
darkness." We are offering to turn on the lights...'
'We also know that this convention comes at a difficult time financially for you, with the DNC $18 million in debt. Finding the resources necessary to run a nominating convention must be tough.'"
