Trump pledges 'Election Integrity Army' for 2026
President Donald Trump vowed to deploy an "Election Integrity Army" in every state for the 2026 midterm elections, saying Republicans will protect votes and ensure secure results. He described the program as a nationwide network of Republican volunteers to monitor polling places and ballot handling, scaling up the Republican National Committee's recruitment of thousands of poll watchers in 2022. Organized, partisan monitoring at that scale has produced legal challenges, disputed results, and heightened risks of voter intimidation, so a nationwide deployment would reshape how states run and adjudicate elections.
Trump says Republicans will have an “Election Integrity Army in every single State” this November
Meaning a bunch of armed pardoned insurrectionists
What?!?! Okay America this has gone far enough.
Nothing to see, just the President inciting civil war on a Sunday.
He’s so awful at planning everything that I don’t see this “army” being effective either.
I don’t care if they point a gun at my head. I am voting.
It's cool, man. I'm gonna go vote and they can stare me down all they want.
When you "win" an election by lying, fraud, misrepresentation, misinformation and miseducation, combined with theater tricks, it's the same as rigging an election.
Marc Elias went 63-1 against Trump campaign lawsuits contesting the 2020 election results and has won four cases argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Quick reminder that Donald Trump's Approval Rating is 33%, and he's well aware that the only way his party can prevail in November is by cheating 🙄.
Trump is telegraphing that he doesn’t plan to have free and fair elections starting in ‘26. Democrats and true Americans need to mobilize and overwhelm his efforts this fall. If Hungary can defeat an authoritarian, I have to believe America can too.
Can @marcelias.bsky.social sue him for defamation?
The Gravy Seals will be everywhere?
He’s threatening to cheat just like he did last time! No more Mr & Ms nice guy, America!! 😡
Maybe someday we’ll realize we’re at war
Sounds like Nazi ICE voter suppression & threats.
We show up anyway. We vote.
See! He had an army in every state to ensure he’d win. That’s why he wanted Tina Peters out. He cheated and he’s going to do it again.
Republicans will not even ALLOW elections. They will merely declare Republicans won every election and the corrupt Supreme Court, Congress, and trump will agree. Then they will tear gas and kill those of us who dare to take to the streets to complain. This is what Republican autocracy looks like.
Did he win all of the swing states in 2024 though? 😬
All he's going to do is unleash thousands of Will Stancils. For neighbors then, for ballots now.
Big 👏 👏 to @ericholder.bsky.social who clearly lives rent-free in that degenerating nasty head! P.S. From here on in, Every seat, every win by "them" will be questioned as illegitimate.
They better like getting their asses kicked.
It sounds like Trump is going to make Washington DC and Puerto Rico states
Mofo did not win popular vote. He cheated his way to an electoral majority. I wish today and every day for a great fiery chasm in the earth to open beneath him.
Big talk from a guy who couldn't even get Minneapolis to knuckle under and had to slink away.
"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." See, stuff like this has me again/1
I will flip them off at the polls as I vote for Democrats ,then moon them and say “kiss my ass MAGA fucks”
gonna chalk this one up to demented bluster
EVERY time he says he won by a huge margin/landslide/won the popular vote SOMEONE must remind him (and America) of what's real.
We outnumber them 2:1. Let us have twice as many election integrity observers at every poll site in the nation.
trump and "election integrity" is an oxymoron. As he constantly berates all people & entities that pointed out his past electoral "cheating" defending himself and his cabal as completely guiltless... May he be reminded... www.acslaw.org/projects/the...
“The Democrats are totally unhinged…” is my favorite part.
Oh my god he’s insecure. He probably didn’t even write this and he’s so insecure.
They know they are facing a blue tsunami in November so they will do all they can to suppress our votes with their gestapo members. bsky.app/profile/atru...
And this is exactly why I’ve signed up to train as a poll watcher.
He “won” the swing states cuz Muskrat manipulated the votes. Musk admitted it!
Only a full blown asshole believes Senate Minority Leader Sideshow Bob is a Palestinian sympathizer…
Sounds bad and it is potentially bad but he's been saying this shit every election and midterm year since he was first elected.
Would you have ever believed we would have a president that writes trash like this?
Voters in VA cast their votes and this dipshit was celebrating a court overturning their will. What a joke.
what yall think all that ICE funding about facial recognition scanning was actually about immigration?????🤣 🤣 🤣
Which is why they desperately want ICE to have a massive budget increase and why they're panicking over the fact they're not getting it.
Exhibit A for voter intimidation.
Okay but if we're not doing mail-in voting that's going to require the entire 30% of Americans who allegedly support the President and I really don't think that's either plausible or possible.
Rage bait from the ChiefTroll in the White House
Here we go … Who could have predicted this?
Wow he is really scared! Good.
Can this threat or statement be challenged in court before it happens in the midterms? How about it, anyone know? I assume Trump would use his ICE storm troopers as his Election Integrity Army in every state. SCOTUS aren't States are in charge of elections and not the Federal Government?
He will lose. Angry voters will climb right over any army that prevents them from casting their ballot.
They can’t even get enough bodies to staff ice. More ramblings of a demented moron. He knows they are fucked come mid terms and he’s panicking. He’s single-handedly destroying the Republican Party and Republican sit watching it happen.
So he admits the 2024 election was stolen.
Projection at its best...His synapses stopped clicking a looong time ago.
He means he will be enabling white supremacist groups, ICE and the Texas and Florida National Guard to interrogate and intimidate POC voters at ballot boxes and booths in every swing state and every Blue state. We've been expecting this. #AMPHIFA 🐸✊
Simple arithmetic. More people voted against Trump than forhim.
They don't know the meaning of integrity.
If Trump tries to run for a 3rd term, we should immediately announce an Obama/AOC ticket.
This has been part of the plan all along. They can't keep power with just one terrible antidemocratic maneuver alone, they need gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement, and finally voter intimidation.
Why isn’t every politician and media responding hourly in a similar but factual fashion to the world with a decade of these posts? His constant repetition of lies gets the attention and becomes “credible” to his supporters. Normalizing this just because 77 Million MAGA do, is a problem in the USA .
Will they have uniforms? Black uniforms? And armbands? Red white and black armbands?
And I still think he historically manipulated the election 2024…
What Army?? Republicans have no support in Democrat states
“Thank you for your attention to this Mad Hatter.”
This is the mind of a very sick person. What we can do is help the 9 southern states under attack. We are not going back to Jim Crow. Every dollar helps.
an “election integrity army” is just a voter intimidation squad. we all know who they’ll be targeting. if you can, sign up to be a poll worker or observer in your county right now—they’re recruiting, and we need people inside the process
I guess his election integrity includes blowing up ballot boxes & mailboxes like they did in Georgia.
Biden kicked Trump's ass. Also, Trump abused children along with his pal Jeffrey Epstein. Everything else is just an old racist's ramblings.
Well there it is Something to ruin mother's Day from Trump He's trying to incite Civil War Nothing like it My God
omg …. If he just stuck with what they really would be, the S.S. He wouldn’t have to memorize so many letters …
Fun Fact 1: Art. I, Sec. 4, Cl. 1 of the Constitutions says states control elections. Nowhere in Art. II (executive branch) is any mention of election admin. Fun Fact 2: There is in fact an "Election Integrity Army:" The close to 2 million election workers spread over 175K polling places.
2A is a right. Voting is a right. I guess use it
Read: Mob Enforcers "Vote the right way or else"
In other words, Ice is coming to the elections near you.
Sounds scary - but we also know Team Trump is (fortunately) very lousy at execution. Methinks this is just bluster.
Election Integrity Army? Is that like a Whiskey Pete, Keystone Kash, PeeWee Bovino, Giuliani, Matthew Calamari, Kraken brigade?
Why can’t he just go away already!?!?
So obviously the election will be rigged. Good to know! 😖
More interested in what is being done to combat it. Time is ticking. Should've happened in 2024.
People need to walk THROUGH those a-holes if they try to stop people from voting. Local police need to keep an eye on those "EIA" fools & arrest any of them who break the law. PERIOD!!
Yes! There will be FAIR elections this year, but they will have *NOTHING* to do with you or your goon squad! #RepublicanGoonSquads
This isn't gonna end well for anyone
Trump, You can not intimidate me! I will be voting with the intention of removing you from office so your corrupt and anti-American regime is dismantled. I stand with my fellow American people and not loyal to the government itself! You are the worst that humanity has to offer. F**k you, Chris C.
He gets worse and not one repug cares. I used to think there was a good one but other that Massey I don’t think so.
Here's the question. If you're waiting in line and there are troops there, are they going to hold a gun to your head and force you to vote for the person they want to win? They're there for intimidation. Democrats just have to try very hard not to be intimidated.
"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" ... They did??? Did they? They did???
Yeah im not afraid of fat racists. Bring your pathetic "army."
Well, like most of his plans, it'll probably be a big fat failure of execution. We can hope for that.
So he's saying that the Republicans already did that in 2024 and that's why the swing states swung.
I'm an election worker that supervises multiple polling sites. That "army" was poorly trained, but rabidly aggressive about procedures they knew nothing about. Not looking forward to November and dealing with another set of these goons.
Good grief, Trump is mad, mad, mad, as in the Madness of Knave Trump and IS completely undone. His corruption is out of control and will drive 'Orban' numbers to the polls, 80% turnout.
Absolutely NOT. He has zero role in elections. States have that power.
He cheated. He has never in his 90 years on Earth won something without cheating
In Australia's turgid national anthem, 'Advance Australia Fair', 'fair' at the time of composition was a reference to whiteness, not equity.
Army is a specific choice
WTF is an election integrity army and how many Proud Boys is it comprised of
Democrats bring your ar 15s or weapon of chpice when you go to vote Stop letting them intimidate you
It should probably be called an election enforcement army
There is no such thing as an election integrity army. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/i-re...
It's something your community needs to shoot on sight. It's an invasion.
As many as they can afford to pay
Not enough to stop me.
The Big Lie is starting again. Laying delegitimization groundwork. Establishing villains in the cinematic universe. Framing it for the loyal. Just like 2020. Pushing back on this BS got recast as “ceNsorShiP” by lie machine media— Taibbi, Shellenberger, Siegel…the waterboys for election deniers.
Let's compare Marc Elias' court trash record with Donald Trump's.
The period from November to January, as this administration and those who play along in the GOP and more broadly try to delegitimize election results, may be the most consequential period in modern American history. I hope we’re ready to stand up for posterity, the republic & our founders.
Trump: “During my Historic Election in 2024 […] 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.”
i forget how chuck schumer became palestinian
$20 he calls the election rigged if they flip one of the chambers.
Were the election integrity army the ones who were calling in those bomb threats to Democratic precincts?
I work in a public library in California with a ballot drop box. Our security guard can’t even sit near it while it’s open lest anyone feel intimidated. So I don’t think this “army” nonsense is going to fly here. Or anywhere else I hope.
"all Americans should have their voices heard by casting a vote" -didnt he tell voters they would never have to vote again during his campaign?
Totally illegal Donald Trump is promising a Republican “election integrity army” across the nation for the midterm elections. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...
Last few elections I’ve voted in person and I’ve seen stuff like this already. A ton of “election observers” getting in everybody’s way inside the polling place, milling around doing nothing.
He means they are dead set on stealing the elections in every state.
