“You get some [Navy] Seals in those polls and they’re going to say, ‘No, no, this is what it says. This is how we’re going to play this show'” -- Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of "True the Vote" https://soundcloud.com/the-intercept/seals-in-those-polls
Here's an R.N.C. official promising to get the party to "devote significant resources" into recruiting police and military as Republican poll watchers, citing the end of the 1982 consent decree that barred the GOP from similar voter intimidation efforts https://soundcloud.com/the-intercept/republican-party-resources-directed-to-this
They already have a website to recruit former law enforcement and military to get trained as poll watchers, which participants said could be placed in "inner city precincts" and Native American communities
The irony here is that despite all the hysteria over liberal "vote by mail fraud" is that Mark Harris, the GOP congressional candidate in North Carolina, is the only known evidence of a campaign methodically going to door to door to illegally manipulate & forge harvested ballots.
The GOP operatives in this meeting planning military & police poll watchers have since filed lawsuits to block New Mexico from allowing universal vote-by-mail, claiming distance voting rules would somehow "violate voters’ fundamental rights" https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6834682-True-the-Vote-Nm-Riddle-v-Oliver-Amici-Curiae.html
During part of the meeting, participants said GOP police & military poll watchers should go where "the fraud is" where other poll watchers don't feel comfortable, like the “inner city” and Native American reservations https://soundcloud.com/the-intercept/inner-city-precinct-or-a-tribal-precinct
