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 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.

    If the US doesn’t have fair elections—how did Trump get elected twice? Oh right b/c they’re fair when maggots get their way, and elections are rigged when they lose. If Mango Shittler sends armies to polling stations is it fair to say……that there will be blood???

      So he admitting that he stole the election in 2024. Because he just magically won every single swing state by large margins? The same states that Musk so happen to make sure all the voting machines worked “properly”.

      Motherfucker spent all the time from when he lost until 2024 claiming Biden stole the election, so after he did just that he can now claim us all nuts for saying he stole this election.

      Because if we ever crawl out of this fascist mess (which I highly doubt) we will learn that Harris won all the legitimate votes and the votes for Trump were is base at 30% rest were faked.

      Hypocrisy or contradictions are not an obstacle for fascism, at all. Quite the opposite! So yes they want you to know they cheated, and that they outsmarted you that way, because you were too dumb to stop them, it’s not something that they want to hide, it’s a powermove. As in I can cheat and you can’t do anything about it even if you tried.

      Here is a literal quote:

      “Wenn unsere Gegner sagen: Ja, wir haben Euch doch früher die […] Freiheit der Meinung zugebilligt – –, ja, Ihr uns, das ist doch kein Beweis, daß wir das Euch auch tuen sollen! […] Daß Ihr das uns gegeben habt, – das ist ja ein Beweis dafür, wie dumm Ihr seid!” - Rede vom 4. Dezember 1935, zitiert nach Helmut Heiber (Hrsg.), Goebbels-Reden, Band 1, Droste, Düsseldorf 1971,

      translation: “When our opponents say: ‘Yes, we did grant you the […] freedom of opinion earlier – –’, well, the fact that you granted it to us is certainly no proof that we should do the same for you! […] That you gave it to us – that is precisely proof of how stupid you are!”

    Election integrity here is ALREADY maintained by precinct committee persons. It’s an elected position.

    One of their job duties is monitoring ballot drop off locations for tampering and intimidation.

      Yup. No way America is coming back, even if turnout by Dems is the highest in history there will still be battles in courts and Trump has had plenty of time to put his cronies in those key locations.

      Now it’s time to just stock up, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.
