Should there be indications of widespread Democrat voter fraud in Tuesday’s election, Republicans are ready to battle on behalf of gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin in Virginia.
Sources within a coordinated effort to get out the vote and secure election integrity in Virginia shared details on their efforts with The Virginia Star.
“Glenn Youngkin’s team along with the RNC, RGA, RSLC, and Republican Party of Virginia are working together to secure the integrity of the election in Virginia,” those sources said.
More than 50 election integrity trainings with over 3,200 attendees have been held in preparation for the election, the sources told The Star.
“These trainings cover poll-watching and other best practices, equipping thousands of volunteers to effectively monitor election proceedings to ensure transparency,” they said.
The sources said that they have successfully implemented their election integrity plans, noting that they scheduled more than 4,200 early voting poll-watching shifts, and more than 2,900 shifts on Election Day.
In 37 pivotal counties in Virginia, the sources said that poll watchers have covered 100% of polling locations.
The Star’s sources are corroborated by an October 27 story published in The Washington Post about robust election integrity efforts in Virginia:
Loudoun County General Registrar Judy Brown doesn’t recall seeing many poll watchers during early voting last year — they usually turn up only on Election Day, primarily during presidential elections.
But that’s changed.
 ‘This year,’ she said, ‘we have had poll watchers here every day, all day long, watching the process of what’s going on.’
And in a county that has been trending blue for years, more poll watchers are wearing Republican badges, Brown said, often outnumbering Democrats 2 to 1 at each location. They observe the voter check-in and the ballot drop boxes. They have asked to observe election officers opening voting equipment. They watch as election officers report the vote tallies at the end of the night and ensure slates are blank when the polls open in the morning.
“The Republican ecosystem is working in conjunction with hundreds of election integrity attorneys and thousands of volunteer poll watchers to be a line of defense against any kind of attack on the integrity of the election process,” said the sources.
The Star’s sources also noted former President Donald J. Trump’s rallying cry for Virginians to show up at the polls, and said they have been working overtime to turnout those voters by “building a year-round data-driven ground game to reach and turnout voters.”
AÂ compilation of polls taken just before Election Day showed Youngkin leading Democrat Terry McAuliffe by an average of one point in a race that will likely come down to the wire.

Just like they “fought” after the 2020 election was stolen?
All I heard were crickets.
