The Republican National Committee (RNC) claimed on Election Day that Republican poll watchers were being “turned away” in eight Pennsylvania counties before the attorneys stepped in to correct the issue.
“Early this morning we learned that Republican poll watchers in Philadelphia, York, Westmoreland, Allegheny, Lehigh, Cambria, Wyoming, and Lackawanna Counties were being turned away,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said on X.
“We deployed our roving attorneys, engaged with local officials, and can now report that all Republican poll watchers have been let into the building,” he said. “We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates.”

The GOP has been far more proactive this election cycle about issues related to election fairness. In Georgia, for example, the RNC moved to stop the counting of ballots that are received after Election Day.
“HUGE election integrity victory in Georgia,” Whatley posted on X, as highlighted by The Daily Wire.
“Democrat-run Cobb County wanted to accept 3,000 absentee ballots AFTER the Election Day deadline,” he said. “We took this case to the Georgia Supreme Court. We just got word that we WON the case.”
“Election Day is Election Day — not the week after,” the RNC chair added. “We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates.”

In Virginia, Republican officials won at the Supreme Court to remove 1,600 non-citizens from its voter rolls after two lower courts ruled in favor of the Biden-Harris Department of Justice’s request to block the commonwealth’s voter roll purge, The Daily Wire reported.
We are pleased by the Supreme Court’s order today. This is a victory for commonsense and election fairness. I am grateful for the work of Attorney General @JasonMiyaresVA on this critical fight to protect the fundamental rights of U.S. citizens. Clean voter rolls are one…
