The Republican National Committee (RNC) is deploying election integrity teams to New Jersey and Virginia ahead of the midterms in a strong push to make inroads in the states, according to a memo obtained by the Daily Caller.
New Jersey has long been considered a Democratic stronghold, but in recent years — especially in the 2024 presidential election — the state has trended to the right. Similarly, Virginia is seen as an obtainable state for Republicans following Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s win in 2023 and President Donald Trump’s over performance in the 2024 presidential election. The RNC is putting election integrity staffers on the ground in both states, a memo obtained by the Caller shows, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the cycle so far.
As of April, the RNC has placed a deputy state director for election integrity in New Jersey, according to the memo. Three regional election integrity directors started in New Jersey in July, focusing on southern New Jersey, as well as the 7th and 9th Congressional Districts. There is also one in-state counsel in New Jersey.
There are 27 county captains across the state, including 17 legal captains and ten election integrity captains, the memo states. The RNC has recruited 700 grassroots volunteers and 310 volunteer attorneys in New Jersey so far, with 13,000 New Jersey residents expressing interest in becoming a volunteer.
On the ground, the team is focusing on “Logic and Accuracy Testing,” which ensures the reliability and accuracy of voting equipment. The team has also submitted open public records requests for incident reports in the states, as well as Seal Audit Logs for voting machines.
To date, the RNC has invested $124,700 in the New Jersey cycle on the election integrity front, the memo states.
