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.

    You know what annoys me the most about that thing? The Democratic leadership didn’t insist on any double checking or tests to ensure that the voting wasn’t fixed. They just shrugged their shoulders and assumed everything was above board.

    Or worse, didn’t care.

      There were a number of lawsuits at the lower levels. Like Rockland County that was suing for a recount. Unfortunately the judge said they lacked standing or some BS.
