Donald Trump announced Sunday that Republicans plan to dispense a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms – invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections. In a message on his Truth Social platform the president appeared to attribute his “Historic Election in 2024” to the fact that the Republican National Committee sent thousands of volunteers across the country to poll watch or assist with election litigation through a volunteer program. “During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger,” Trump wrote. Trump did not elaborate on who would be part of the “Election Integrity Army” or how large it would be.

    So lemme get this straight: the guy who won the last election is claiming that the elections are rigged? I’m just trying to understand here

        He just assumes that both sides are rigged, and whoever rigs it best is the winner. That’s why he was so pissed in 2020. He knows it was rigged, but so many voted against him that it invalidated whatever he did. He was more successful at rigging the 2024 election.

        He’s going to rig 2028, too. Don’t be surprised if the smoke clears, and he gets more votes than the other candidates, so he has no choice but to honor the will of the people over the Constitution, and remain in office.

          2016 as well. He even opened multiple investigations into it during his first term and the results were conclusively that the only notable instances of interference were either from or on behalf of the Republican party.

      Trump did not elaborate on who would be part of the “Election Integrity Army” or how large it would be.

      It’s a dog whistle to the “militia” people.

      You are understanding correctly.

      Leading up to November 2024 elections, he said on multiple media outlets “We already have all the votes we need. The election has already been decided. It’s the last election you’ll ever need to vote in. Thats how good we rigged it.”

      Literally said it MULTIPLE times.

      And now he’s talking about it again, openly as being rigged.

      He’s saying the quiet part outloud, and nobody is outraged, because nobody is taking him at face value.

      He claimed 2016 was rigged too. He’s been preparing people since the beginning for this.
