Election Integrity Weekly Updates

Jan. 16th 2024

Quote of the Week: “Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”

― Thomas Jefferson

There are just 49 days until election day, a mere 30 days until early voting begins, and 294 days until General Election day. In 2022 we covered all 100 counties, hired 25,000 Poll Workers, 700+ Attorneys across the State, and held over 650 training sessions. We are now working to recruit Poll Workers and Observers!  Feel free to forward this newsletter to any of your Republican friends, family and neighbors to help us ensure election integrity.

  • December 13 – Pennsylvania: The RNC secures a key stay from Pennsylvania’s 3rd Circuit Court to continue fighting against Pennsylvania officials trying to count undated ballots.
  • December 14-California: RNC submitted another round of public comments fighting for changes to California’s proposed election observer regulations that would increase clarity and strengthen protections for observers.
  • December 14 – EAC: Submitted public comments to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on the Voluntary Electronic Poll Book Requirements Version 1.0, calling for the EAC to raise the proposed requirements on e-poll book manufacturers to ensure their security.

Calling all Gatekeepers

Although it may be true that most pastors and ministry leaders may not be called to run as candidates, for one of the local grassroots offices in their communities. It is also true that they are ALL called to be the GATEKEEPERS of the next generation of Christian Citizens who will run for office.

Pastor Neal Jackson, of Beulah Baptist Church, ROBBINS, NC extends this invitation to Pastors, Ministry Leaders, and concerned Christian Citizens to prepare themselves to be GATEKEEPERS and equip qualified candidates, to enter into the public square.
