Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump announced Friday from behind a podium in a Detroit suburb that she and the RNC are working to raise a veritable army of "Over 100,000 poll watchers and over 500 lawyers" to "Deploy" at election sites across the country in November.
These volunteers will have three missions: Watch people vote, watch people count votes, and sue anybody who gets in the way.
Lara Trump's vision is to have people "In the room" whenever votes are being counted or cast.
Following her remarks - which were full of militaristic language such as "Deploy" and "Battleground" - the assembled volunteers began "Training" as potential poll watchers.
"Our biggest goals this year with the Trump campaign are to get out the vote and protect the ballot."
Matthew, another potential poll watcher, identified himself as a member of Trump Force - a local group that tries to register voters and increase awareness of voter fraud.
When asked after the event if these efforts could discourage people from voting at all or lead to violence at polling sites, Trump was unconcerned.
