Republicans know they cannot win fairly.

'It's going to be an army': Tapes reveal GOP plan to contest elections

Placing operatives as poll workers and building a "hotline" to friendly attorneys are among the strategies to be deployed in Michigan and other swing states.
Three people vote.

Video recordings of Republican Party operatives meeting with grassroots activists provide an inside look at a multi-pronged strategy to target and potentially overturn votes in Democratic precincts: Install trained recruits as regular poll workers and put them in direct contact with party attorneys.

The plan, as outlined by a Republican National Committee staffer in Michigan, includes utilizing rules designed to provide political balance among poll workers to install party-trained volunteers prepared to challenge voters at Democratic-majority polling places, developing a website to connect those workers to local lawyers and establishing a network of party-friendly district attorneys who could intervene to block vote counts at certain precincts.

“Being a poll worker, you just have so many more rights and things you can do to stop something than [as] a poll challenger,” said Matthew Seifried, the RNC’s election integrity director for Michigan, stressing the importance of obtaining official designations as poll workers in a meeting with GOP activists in Wayne County last Nov. 6.

It must be a matter of character. I don't want to win if it isn't done fairly. To what kind of person is the win more important than the means of winning? If one is willing to cheat to win, is there anything they won't cheat at?

And having to cheat -- very much so in this case -- implies nefarious intentions.

Their actions are selfish and shortsighted often to the point of being criminal. If they campaign honestly and forthrightly they'll get shut down either by the authorities or the voters.
