R.I. GOP seeks volunteers for its own 'election integrity office'

The Rhode Island GOP is taking a page from the national party playbook by starting its own election integrity program.

The soon-to-launch election integrity office, announced in an email on Tuesday, mimics the programs set up by the Republican National Committee and the Trump-Vance campaign in battleground states nationwide. The intent is to offer reassurance to voters and independent oversight into state and local elections, Rhode Island GOP Chairman Joe Powers said in an interview on Wednesday.

“There have been numerous times where I have gotten phone calls from people who have questioned a vote, or what happened with their mail ballots,” Powers said. “I’d rather have people in place to specifically handle this.”

A volunteer election integrity officer will lead a team of other volunteers working on the lofty goal of “bolstering our state’s election integrity,” according to the GOP’s email announcement. Applicants for the volunteer position, open through Sept. 11, must show skills in communication, organization and collaboration.

...and every every rightwing poll "worker" recruitment program.

They are being trained and planted to cause as much chaos, confusion, and doubt about the vote count as they possibly can.
