Following the 2020 election, Trump’s handpicked RNC chair, Ronna Romney McDaniel, pledged to go to state legislatures to “make sure that what we saw in this election never happens again,” regurgitating President Trump’s debunked claims of illegal votes and voting procedures.
The RNC mobilized Trump’s Big Lie of a stolen election, shepherding a new wave of Red state vote-suppressing laws designed to disenfranchise voters with opposing views.
It deployed a so-called national “election integrity” committee (and state counterparts) to usher in these laws in 19 states. The committee is filled with members who backed Trump’s falsehoods and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
