In a recent announcement, former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC) have unveiled their plans for an "election integrity program" aimed at harassing election officials and discrediting democracy in Nevada and several other states. The RNC claims that the program, which they describe as "100,000 person strong," will monitor and protect against any violation or fraud.

It is important to note that no evidence of widespread fraud that could have affected the outcome of the 2020 election has ever been provided by Trump, the RNC, or anyone else. Multiple lawsuits challenging the election results were filed by Trump and Republicans, including some in Nevada, but none of them found any significant evidence of fraud or illegal voting.

The RNC's announcement is filled with hyperbole and innuendo about "voter fraud" and a "rigged" election, yet fails to provide any substantiation for these claims. Republican courts and election officials in various states, including Nevada's former Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, found no evidence of election rigging in the 2020 election.

The motivation behind the RNC's efforts seems to be due to Trump's influence and control over the party. The announcement implies that every election official, including several Republicans, and thousands of poll workers were part of an elaborate conspiracy to steal the election from Trump in 2020.

However, it is important to recognize that for the alleged conspiracy to be true, it would require the involvement of an unprecedented number of people, including judges appointed by Republican presidents. Yet, not a single person has come forward to confirm these claims.

Despite the lack of evidence, the Republican Party has made the "stolen" 2020 election a fundamental premise of its official policy. This move by the RNC to undermine democracy and belittle the integrity of elections aligns with Trump's previous attacks on the electoral process.

It remains to be seen how this aggressive interference will play out in Nevada and other battleground states. The loyalty of Trump's supporters and the pandering of elected officials to this false narrative have contributed to the ongoing threat to the nation's democracy.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, among other Republican officials, will have a significant role to play in this unfolding situation. If they choose to look the other way and enable Trump's efforts to nullify the votes of Nevadans, they will be complicit in undermining democracy and the will of the people.

While the competency of Trump's legal team and those involved in harassing election officials may be questionable, their intentions can still have pernicious effects. The pain and suffering inflicted on Georgia election workers in the past serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of such actions.

As the RNC and Trump intensify their election interference efforts, the nation watches with anticipation to see how Nevada and other battleground states will respond. The fight to protect democracy and ensure fair elections remains of utmost importance.
