The next scheduled training event will take place instantly after the Republican National Committee\u2019s midterm convention, with sessions planned in Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, among others. These in-person sessions aim to educate voters on election procedures, improve openness, and foster trust in the electoral process, especially following the controversies of the 2020 election. The organization plans to reach between 800 and 1,000 people through in-person events, and an additional 7,500 to 8,000 via online training. Founder Jenny Beth Martin emphasizes that the goal is to ensure election integrity and public confidence by having trained witnesses present at polling sites. As it&#8217;s inception in 2012, the group has increased its efforts after 2020 to support election security. Despite legislative setbacks like the failure to pass the SAVE America Act, the group continues to pursue alternative measures to safeguard elections. Meanwhile, both parties are preparing for potential legal and procedural issues during the elections, with Democrats building a nationwide voter protection infrastructure and deploying lawyers and observers, including a new internal litigation team. Martin highlights that cooperation across political lines on election integrity is ongoing, with both sides working towards securing the electoral process.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EXCLUSIVE \u2014 <\/strong>The nation\u2019s largest <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tea-party\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"512\">Tea Party<\/a> group, Tea Party Patriots Action, is emerging as a leader in training thousands of poll watchers and workers across several battleground states before the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2026-election\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11675\">midterm elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next training for the group will occur a day after the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-national-committee\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"2059\">Republican National Committee<\/a> midterm convention ends next week.

training is to help local voters understand election procedures, report problems in real time, and strengthen public trust in election outcomes after the chaos of the 2020 presidential election, according to the group\u2019s founder, Jenny Beth Martin, who shared the details with the <em>Washington Examiner<strong> <\/strong><\/em>in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad

states aims to reach anywhere between 800 and 1,000 people, while online training and recruitment can reach between 7,500 and 8,000 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to make sure that Americans trust the outcome of the elections, and one of the best ways to do that is to have people who are in the room who can come back out and be witnesses to what they saw, and hopefully they don\u2019t see anything funny going on,\u201d Martin told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martin, who is attending the convention before heading to Reno, also said going \u201cfrom the convention to the training is going to energize everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap

going to really enjoy hearing from people who\u2019ve been at the convention,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trainings are being held in concert with numerous groups, including Honest Elections Project, Save Our States, Turning Point Action, American Majority, Heritage Action, and American Constitutional Rights Union.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tea Party Patriots Action began training poll watchers in 2012, but after the 2020 election, it increased its operations to help ensure American trust in the electoral system.<\/p>\n<div

priority for the group, following in Trump\u2019s footsteps. They have consistently advocated the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act, despite Senate Majority Leader John Thune\u2019s insistence that the upper chamber does not have the 60-vote threshold to bypass a filibuster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that hasn\u2019t deterred Tea Party Patriots Action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople across the country, especially with our base, are upset that the SAVE America Act did not get passed into law,\u201d Martin said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to make sure that people understand, even though that didn\u2019t get passed into law yet, there are other ways we can work to help secure the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both political parties are gearing up to handle any electoral or legal issues that could pop up during the election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former U.S. pardon attorney Ed Martin\u00a0left the Trump administration to focus on Republican legal fights in the 2026 and 2028 elections.
