RNC stops in central Ohio to train poll watchers

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The national Republican party, is making stops across the country to train volunteers ahead of this election as “poll-watchers.” On Friday afternoon, the Republican National Committee made one of those stops in Columbus.

Michael Whatley, chairman of the RNC, said their goal is to have 5,000 trained poll watchers throughout Ohio and in every other battleground state.

“I think what it's going to do is we're going to have a conversation on election integrity and how important it is," Whatley said.
