Illinois Republican Party chairman Pat Brady tells TPM that the state party is in fact teaming up the Republican National Lawyers Association to train “voter integrity” squads for the midterm elections. But he says they’ve been doing this for years and are not targeting minority precincts. This comes after the RNLA’s executive director insisted to TPM that the “RNLA does not perform ANY operations. We merely train lawyers on how to ensure elections are open, fair and honest.”
