How the RNC Has Bolstered Election Integrity for 2024: A Look at Strategic Legal Wins Led by Steve Kenny, Lara Trump, and Michael Whatley
As the 2024 elections approach, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has launched an unprecedented legal campaign to strengthen election integrity across key battleground states. Under the leadership of co-chairs Lara Trump and Michael Whatley and driven by the strategic expertise of Steve Kenny, Senior Litigation Counsel, the RNC has secured major legal victories that restore stability and confidence in Republican voters’ voting process.
RNC’s Proactive Election Integrity Efforts
The RNC, under the guidance of Michael Whatley and the proactive influence of President Trump, has embarked on the most ambitious election integrity campaign in the party’s history. Steve Kenny, referred to as a “secret weapon” by Mike Davis, has played a crucial role in spearheading these efforts. According to Kenny, the RNC has a staggering 126 active litigation cases across 26 states, and for the first time, they are moving beyond defense to proactive lawsuits against election law violations.
Kenny appeared on Friday’s WarRoom with Davis and explained that the shift toward offensive litigation is crucial in a political landscape where Democratic state officials are often reluctant to defend existing election laws. “They refuse to do their jobs, so we step in,” says Kenny, noting that under the leadership of Lara Trump and Michael Whatley, the RNC has adopted a robust strategy to ensure election laws are enforced across the nation.
Key Legal Wins Across Battleground States
The RNC’s legal victories, secured by Kenny and his team, offer Republican voters a sense of reassurance going into 2024. Some of the most important wins include the protection of absentee ballot integrity in Pennsylvania, where a controversial requirement that absentee ballots be signed and dated was repeatedly challenged by left-leaning officials. The RNC successfully defended this law, which Kenny calls a “critical tool in preventing voter fraud,” recounting an incident where a fraudulent ballot from a deceased voter was identified thanks to this rule.
In Michigan, the RNC defeated a policy introduced by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson that presumed the validity of absentee ballot signatures without proper verification. Kenny remarked, “This violates the Michigan Constitution, which requires neutral verification of absentee ballots to ensure integrity.” This victory ensures that absentee ballots are thoroughly vetted, a key win in a pivotal swing state.
The RNC’s success continued in Wisconsin, where they fought against rules allowing voters to spoil absentee ballots and re-vote. They also secured access for Republican poll watchers, enhancing transparency in nursing homes and polling stations. These reforms ensure that both the voting process and the ballot count are conducted fairly.
Georgia and Arizona: Protecting Senate Bill 202 and Citizenship Verification
In Georgia, Senate Bill 202, the state’s hallmark election integrity law passed after the 2020 election, has faced fierce opposition. Thanks to the efforts of Kenny and the RNC, nearly all of the law’s provisions will remain in effect for the upcoming elections. These provisions include absentee ballot restrictions, early voting procedures, and photo ID requirements—measures designed to safeguard Georgia’s elections from potential fraud.
Arizona, another critical battleground, saw the RNC defending its citizenship verification requirements. Kenny emphasizes the importance of ensuring only eligible citizens vote: “The fight for documentary proof of citizenship in voter registrations is key to preserving the integrity of our electoral process.” Many of these battles, Kenny predicts, will eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, solidifying these wins as long-term safeguards for election integrity.
Stability and Confidence for Voters
With legal victories across key states, the RNC’s efforts are giving Republican voters a renewed sense of stability ahead of the 2024 elections. Under the leadership of Lara Trump, Michael Whatley, and Steve Kenny, the RNC’s proactive legal strategy has established a foundation that voters can trust. This unprecedented approach to securing fair elections aims to prevent voter fraud, ensure transparency, and restore public confidence in the process.
As Kenny confidently states, “We are defending the rule of law in elections. Voters can feel secure that their vote will be counted fairly, and the integrity of the election process will be upheld.”
With these victories in place, Republican voters can look ahead to 2024 with confidence that their voices will be heard, their votes will be protected, and election laws will be enforced.
