The Republican National Committee (RNC) has unanimously approved a major new working group to focus on ballot security measures and support for candidates facing election challenges, following accusations of voting irregularities in key races in Florida, North Carolina, California, and elsewhere. A federal court consent decree, ended last year, had prohibited the RNC from engaging in ballot security activities for nearly 40 years. The 1982 consent decree arose from a Democratic National Committee (DNC) lawsuit alleging that the RNC had targeted minorities to discourage them from voting. “With the RNC now able to fully participate in efforts to promote voting rights and election integrity, we look forward to the committee’s recommendations," RNC spokesperson Steve Guest told Fox News. "We intend to hold the Democrats accountable for unfair election activities and fight to ensure that elections are administered competently and free from irregularity.”
