GOP lawyers who the poll workers can quickly connect with to document alleged voter fraud. 3. “Party-friendly district attorneys who could intervene to block vote counts at certain precincts.” 4. “Installing party loyalists on the Board of Canvassers, which is responsible for certifying the election, also appears to be part of the GOP strategy.” Subscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter Raghu Manavalan is the Host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the Executive Producer of POLITICO Audio.
