The Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Merrick Garland, has pledged to challenge state efforts to impose what they deem as discriminatory and unnecessary restrictions on voting procedures, such as mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements. Garland's recent statement indicates a commitment to addressing any state that enforces stricter election security measures, including the mandate for voter identification.

Over the weekend, the Republican National Committee (RNC) elected Michael Watley as chairman, succeeding Ronna McDaniel, with Lara Trump appointed as co-chair. Endorsed by former President Trump, the new leadership aims to prioritize various aspects, with a significant focus on election integrity.

Lara Trump emphasized the RNC's three key pillars for the upcoming election: turning out the vote, safeguarding the vote, and fundraising. Notably, she highlighted the critical importance of protecting the vote and ensuring election integrity to prevent any doubts or controversies similar to those arising from the 2020 election.

Under Lara Trump's leadership, the RNC has established an election integrity division, dedicating substantial resources to this cause. The committee is actively recruiting a nationwide network of volunteers, including poll watchers, trained poll workers, and legal professionals, to monitor and safeguard the voting process.
