Trump says he will send an ‘Election Integrity Army’ into every state for midterms

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

It's how he knows they're rigged. If they weren't he wouldn't have won.

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.

We have NEVER cancelled an election in this country, not during WWII, not even during the Civil War. Cancelling an election is a BRIGHT RED LINE, that will not be crossed. If it is, it is INSTANT Civil War.

Who is gonna lead a civil war? You? I have trouble believing it will happen because so many lines have been crossed already that should have led to revolution and hasn't

Who is gonna lead a civil war? You?

Are you in third grade? Is that the depths of your intelligence, that when someone makes a suggestion, the best you can do is shoot it down because the person making the suggestion can't implement it? That means that the ONLY people who can make suggestions about our future are those who can actually make their suggestions happen, like Sociopathic Oligarchs. That's what your dumb comment translates as.

No, I'm not going to lead a Civil War, that's not my skill set. But that doesn't mean I can't identify those who do have that skill set.

What do you think all those knowledgeable, experienced military leaders that Hegseth and Trump fired are doing?

Who knows? We haven't heard a peep from ANY of them. After a lifetime of navigating one of the most difficult career tracks in the world, getting to the highest reaches of power, motivated not by money, but by the personal mission of protecting America from ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, they seem to have disappeared.

The greatest domestic national security threat since the Civil War has taken over the nation, and gotten rid of them, so they can't thwart MAGA's treasonous plans. Surely, those military leaders have accepted their ignominious firings, which were accompanied by public disparagement of themselves and the jobs they invested their entire lives in doing, and are sitting on the veranda, drinking cocktails, and watching the sun set on the nation that they failed to protect, right?

I doubt it. Some were probably willing to chuck it all, and get on with retirement, but these are guys who have lived their entire lives literally waiting and planning for the next fight. These are NOT guys who give up easy. I would bet that at least a few of them are talking to each other, and creating some sort of plan if a Civil War breaks out, and we aren't going to hear a word about it until it happens

If there's a Civil War, military leadership will NOT be a problem, we have no end of great military leadership on our side. I suspect the military leadership on their side isn't as loyal as they assume, and since they've fired all the moral competence, much of what is left is corrupt incompetence. Many of them will be able to be just bought off, MAGA's Achille's Heel.

The problem will be Civil Leadership. In a situation like a spontaneous Civil War, rebel leadership will most likely default to the current leadership, which means the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries will be the headliners, and that would be disastrous.

Weak Civil leadership (and it doesn't get any weaker than Schmuck & Jeffries), will only lead to a Military takeover, and having a Military Dictator wouldn't be any better than a Capitalist Dictator. We need to identify and support leadership candidates that we can count on in a Civil War. So far, about the only only ones showing any real leadership strength are the progressives, and those who instructed the military to ignore illegal orders. Those are the kinds of people who should be in charge.

If I had to pick one that I would trust to lead us in a Civil War, one who understands both the political and military sides of the conflict, I think the best choice might be Mark Kelly. He's got the military experience, is extremely intelligent, not a whiff of corruption in his entire career, and he's tough enough, and brave enough, to go toe-to-toe with MAGA, and not back down.

If Mark Kelly emerged as the defacto leader, with a competent military led by MAGA's cast-off officers, I'd be on board with that Rebellion.

Every non Republican since 2016 has been hoping that someone is gonna come somehow and save the US from Trump. We're in 2026, Trump is still president and nothing seems to push back against him.

I don't believe in a sudden revolutionary surge in the US. Shit's gonna get worse, slowly, irrevocably, unless the general population develop some sense of solidarity and there's real political involvement from the population at every level. But that's hard in a population as divided as the United States'.

5

You didn't make a suggestion, you made a prediction. I'm saying I don't believe civil war is inevitable if the election is cancelled. So many things have already happened that should have inevitably led to revolution and hasn't. If these guys are planning one, I want to know what they're waiting for

Probably the same folks who are rushing to gerrymander the black vote out of existence in the South.

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.

15

It's a sound bite that works. Get his public angry enough that they stop thinking rationally about how stupid the statement is and his supporters will cheer while voting rights are taken away.

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

If you look at the statistics... yea it was rigged by trump and he wants to make sure the places he was not able to rig get rigged this time too.

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!"

They act like some perfect candidate/party will just emerge if they stamp their feet hard enough.

Sure, the redcaps are dangerous and annoying in their own way - I would imagine a lot of them are functionally illiterate - ~20% of American adults are functionally illiterate.

But focusing only on 2023, 28% of adult Americans are at level 1 or below in literacy and 34% in numeracy. And only 44% and 38%, respectively, are at or above level 3 in these domains.

^ From Patheos. I've seen others claiming about 21%. I'll say 20% just to be conservative. In any case, it is bad and I bet a sizeable amount of people are terrible at critical thinking and/or spotting logical fallacies, as well. Not to mention those with overactive amygdalas creating far too much emotionalism and a thirst of simple "solutions" driving them into the arms of Republicans. It's hard to get them to accept basic reality, never mind actually having some understanding.

But a whole lot of these often overly-online people don't seem to fall into this nexus per se. They seem to have galaxy-brained their way into thinking they are this rare breed of the truly morally superior creatures and no one else has ever noticed the flaws of the Democratic party/certain candidates. 🙄

You're spot on man. One side has the illiterate, and the other side has people who agree with stuff 'in principle' but refuse to actually vote.

It's literally no wonder Democrats move to the center, because rational republicans have joined the party. And what's more is those rational republicans generally adapt to the party, and they don't pull them to the right.

The other fucking issue that infuriates me is that not every district is in NY where you can elect AOC. I love AOC, but she's flat out not electable in a lot of the country. Guys like Talrico are just as valuable as her, because they'll probably agree on 70% of the platform.

What does that even mean? He's already president with secret service protection, so it's not as if he'd be particularly easy to kill now (and has had it since well before being elected) and it's not as though there's some special "become impossible to kill button" he's waiting for the midterms to press.

Do you mean, it'll be too late for killing him to stop the things that are in motion? Because that's always been the case. Killing some senile octogenarian was never going to make a difference.

Yeah true. The way I see it, the 'we' in this case is a lot bigger than just the US. Anyone who pulls that off will instantly become not just an American hero, but a global hero. "We" is all of humanity.

Like... in the 1930s, if some Ethiopian dude just popped up from beneath everyone's radar and put a bullet between Hitler's eyes, he'd be a hero everywhere, but especially in Germany.

And as long as it's been with no results, I don't think there's anyone in the US willing/able to step up, so in light of our (US) spinelessness, we (the entire planet) may be relying on importing those skills from another nation.

How does one apply for this election integrity army job? What is the wage and how much work is there?

Grab your gun and Punisher neck gaiter and roll up to your polling place and menace the people going in. Congrats, you are now in the Election Integrity Army.

Wages you say? are you not a patriot? Is the fear in the eyes of your fellow human beings not payment enough?

Oh, wages are covered.

The job works on commission. Any property acquired through civil forfeiture during your duties in the Election Integrity Army are yours to keep.

This is why when a cop asks if you are carrying any money on you, the answer is always "No."

I assume the army is ICE because this is textbook Nazi shit, so the signing bonus is up to $50k and the salary starts from there too. The work will last as long as the state can manufacture enemies.

I applied for ICE but they didn't hire me because I am a radical leftist that was mostly applying to keep detailed records of the human rights violations.

So elections are canceled. They can shoot me as much as they want and I will reanimate and drag my carcass to the piles to vote against the pedo traitor.

So you'd go through all that just to vote, huh? smh

Well having a spine comes with a downside but I'd still recommend it.

So, election interference then, eh. He knows the Rs will never win again with the shit they've already pulled, but it won't matter if you can't actually vote anymore.

invoking his debunked claims that the United States does not have fair elections.

If they are not fair, then how the fuck is he even in office?

Because liberals believe he won a fair election. Only leftists really believe our elections are unfair, and the right wing seized an opportunity.

The concept of legality is fungible under this administration like no other.

And however crooked the elections were before is nothing like what is about to be attempted.

Election fraud lol

No one really covered all the stolen mail in votes and burned mailboxes by MAGA citizens

Where the state militias who supposedly are allowed to exist to defend against tyrannical governments

They traded their independence from the feds in exchange for free used equipment.

We've been organizing and mobilizing our own poll watch response groups.

Hopefully the citizen coalition will have their own observers with recording devices as well.

Your best shot at preventing this was November 2024.

This is your bed now.

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.

I already said it. There's not going to be a real election. And the media will call it a "miracle Red Wave."

I see this news on a lot of sites but I couldn't find the truth social post.

I do believe he said it though. Apparently he did this in 2024.

The real “problems” will be in contested purple areas. No need to bother in secure blue state areas. They only need to exert as much effort as needed to maintain control.

But who knows. Maybe a little extra brutality in blue states just for funsies is probably on their radar.

There's alot of noise and "I told you so's" going on in here. what is the solution? Start planning how we Americans can go vote safely and securely no matter what, that is our duty. And before you say you first: I'm disabled and can't fight like the healthy, I'll go to the polls regardless, even if I die doing so, I will not let them win.

You will have allies there, but go vote early. That's your best defense to this stupid orange buffoon

It did and still does (mean it's time to play ball).

We all knew this was going to happen. I'm probably not going to vote this time. They're in power and they're not giving that power up. It's over.

Edit: I'm so sure that many of the people downvoting have done what they can to prevent this. Some of us cried when he was elected knowing what was to come. Many of us have been fighting this for the last 10 years. If you wanted to fight then you should have been doing something earlier.

By the way, the person responding is a bigot.

Yes, it's always the best idea to roll over and let the bullies just win without as much as a whimper!!

Everyone knows that narcissistic, mushy brained, child rapists (and their sycophantic enablers) will just stop being evil once they get their way.
FUCKS SAKE.
FUCK. SAKE!!! GROW A PAIR. CHRIST

I'm going to be brutally honest. I think you're on the wrong side politically based on how you responded.

Go join Trump and the magats. It's where you belong.

Voting isn't going to change anything this time. We're just going to get harassed, arrested or worse by his integrity army.

Edit: Thanks for outing yourself by responding with JKR material.

-14

Wow, runs to the mods to get my comment removed THEN edits their comment to show what a bad ass they are.
Haha, yeah, there's definitely no capitulation and cowardice in doing that!!!!

However I'll respond as I damn will please.
JKR is a cunt but using her old movie (from over two decades ago) to point out what a surrender merchant you are is acceptable.
Quick, coward, go running to the mods and cry to them. Quick, QUICK!!!!

Take that doomer shit back to reddit.

Your account is just over a week old and half of your comments are how you and others should give up. You do you, but there are plenty of American propaganda pieces from the 1940s and beyond talking about how to deal with fascists. Many of us will be voting and giving a shit past our personal comforts this year. We welcome you to do the bare minimum to fight it, as well.

Not really surprised that more people aren't on this site when people like you have such aggressive attitudes. Also, that's a bold assumption. That's not half my comments, and you'd know. Half my comments aren't even on political communities or posts.

You want more support? Maybe try harder to welcome other people instead of looking at people that are already weary from fighting and threatening them or making poor judgements about them.

Welcome.

Here we tell people to shut the fuck up when they talk about not voting because it’s basically the easiest thing you can fucking do.

I’m probably not going to vote this time.

Even if I knew beforehand that it wouldn't make a difference I'd still do it because it's not hard to do.

No excuses.

"Not hard to do."

Um excuse me? Did we read the same article?

There's going to be armed thugs at the polling stations. Voting by mail is being sabotaged.

Voting has never been all that easy to begin with even before this. People do get harassed at polling stations, assuming they can even get there sometimes. Fun fact, but where I live they closed a polling station down early and proceeded to move it to a location over an hour away.
