Key Takeaways on Election Prep from Steve Bannon’s Chat with Bill McGinley

On his first day out of Federal prison, Steve Bannon sat down with Bill McGinley, former White House Cabinet Secretary and expert election lawyer, to discuss practical strategies for voter turnout and election integrity. McGinley, who worked at Jones Day representing federal officeholders and campaign organizations, emphasizes a comprehensive approach to securing elections—mobilizing voters and safeguarding the process.

1. Mobilize Voters and Ensure Integrity—Two Sides of the Same Coin

“GOTV and election integrity are two sides of the same coin,” McGinley told Bannon. Mobilizing voter turnout is critical, but equally essential is guaranteeing a secure process. McGinley stresses that if every supporter gets involved, early voting numbers can be pushed higher—directly impacting the election outcome.

“Our volunteers are encouraging friends, family, and neighbors to vote early. It’s crucial,” he said, noting that voter turnout efforts have shown strong early numbers but that “a lot of work remains.” He encourages everyone to get involved, whether by voting themselves, bringing people to the polls, or volunteering.

2. Three-Part Election Integrity Plan: Transparency, Law, and Procedures

McGinley laid out a three-part election integrity framework: transparency, strict adherence to the law, and maintaining the integrity of election procedures. “We’ve got state operations focused in battleground states—Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania,” McGinley said, explaining how they’re actively monitoring for any issues that could impact the vote.

Poll watchers are deployed as “the eyes and ears” at the polling places. They’re trained to quickly identify and escalate issues to prevent small problems from becoming significant disruptions. “It’s about vigilance,” McGinley remarked, describing the proactive role poll watchers play in detecting irregularities.

3. Legal Framework to Enforce Election Laws

McGinley emphasized the importance of a strong legal team prepared to handle challenges on Election Day and beyond. Lawsuits have already been filed to ensure compliance with voter registration and absentee ballot regulations. “Integrity is a very important bucket,” McGinley added, explaining that specific states are being watched closely for any deviations from legal standards on voter roll maintenance and absentee ballots.

One key resource McGinley suggested for tracking these legal efforts is ProtectTheVote.com, where supporters can follow updates on legal challenges, absentee ballot issues, and voter registration status.

4. Be Ready for Extended Counts

Anticipating delays, McGinley warns that “some states are planning for extended counts.” To counter these potential wait times, he stresses the need to “mobilize early voters and lock in votes before Election Day.” This approach, he believes, will help secure a lead that won’t be easily overturned in a lengthy count. He further advises those unable to vote in person to submit provisional ballots if necessary, which could serve as a safeguard in close races.

The team’s strategy is to “preserve a Trump victory” by maximizing early turnout and staying vigilant for any irregularities that could alter the vote.

5. Ways Supporters Can Help Right Now

McGinley laid out multiple actions supporters can take to contribute to the cause:

  1. Volunteer as Poll Watchers: Help monitor the election process at polling locations, providing “eyes and ears” on the ground.
  2. Get Out the Vote: Encourage early voting and rally friends, family, and community members to cast their ballots.
  3. Follow Legal Updates: Track ongoing legal efforts via ProtectTheVote.com and understand how lawsuits might influence the election process.
  4. Prepare for Delays: Be aware that vote counting may extend past Election Day. Push for early voting, and if needed, consider casting a provisional ballot.
  5. Spread the Word: Help raise awareness about the importance of both voter turnout and election integrity efforts by sharing McGinley’s recommendations.

Final Words: Run Through the Tape

For McGinley, the goal is to “play all four quarters” and “run through the tape.” Keeping the momentum high until every vote is counted is crucial. He urged the audience to “keep pushing” until the election outcome is secure.

McGinley provided a clear path forward, balancing robust turnout efforts with comprehensive election oversight. These combined actions are key to securing the results on election night.
