The national Republican Party, also known as the Republican National Committee (RNC), along with the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), have announced that they are geared-up and lawyered-up for any voting irregularities or possible discrepancies in this year’s election process in Florida.
The RNC says their rapid response team is already in place to fix election issues and ensure votes are counted fairly and accurately.
Tuesday’s primary election saw some problems, according to GOP officials.
The RNC says poll watchers sounded the alarm that five precincts failed to open on time. RNC staff and attorneys contacted election supervisors to open these sites as quickly as possible.
Poll watchers identified an issue in Broward County with the poll book software user interface that caused voter confusion. The issue was quickly resolved with the County Supervisor of Elections, avoiding any further issues.
The RNC also says they deployed volunteers in over 3,000 shifts at precincts across the state, covering the entire period from the beginning of early voting until the primary.
They resolved over 750 issues and questions escalated to the Florida Election Integrity hotline for early voting and primary election day.
These successful election pilot runs will be amplified for the general election. The primary operations have proven that our Election-Day efforts are rapid and effective and ready to Protect the Vote in November.
Lawyers are also on standby. The RNC said it has always been engaged in litigation to defend Florida’s wet signature requirement on voter registration applications.
“This is an important safeguard to ensure ballots are cast and counted properly,” said the RNC. “Republicans said they won a major victory in defending Florida’s SB 90, which included critical election integrity measures. These efforts and over 100 lawsuits nationwide are securing the election.”
