Pennsylvania GOP poll watchers conceded after initially being rebuffed, RNC says

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump tells “Fox & Friends” that GOP poll watchers are now being allowed into various facilities in Pennsylvania after initially being turned away.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley wrote down first

Trump later said: “All of our election observers, who I’m happy to report, are there.”

“We at the RNC have already had to do a little bit of work with our lawyers this morning because our poll watchers – if you can believe this, and I'm sure people can believe this – were denied access to the buildings in some eight different counties of them around Philadelphia, some of them outside of Pittsburgh, where they blocked our poll watchers, our Republican poll watchers, from coming in,” she said on “Fox & Friends.”

“So we had to act on short notice, and that's why we designed this election integrity operation so that we can identify problems and strike immediately,” she continued.

“And all of our election observers, who I'm happy to report on, are there, but look, it's a tense state, and it's a must-win state, and I think, you know, we've seen how much Value was placed on this state,” Trump said. “We were there twice yesterday, we did two rallies with Donald Trump. Obviously Kamala Harris was there yesterday, but I have to tell you we felt a lot of love from the people of Pennsylvania yesterday, so we're very optimistic.”
