- President Trump announced plans for a large "Election Integrity Army" to be deployed in every state for the 2026 midterm elections, citing his debunked claims of unfair U.S. elections.
- He attributed his "Historic Election in 2024" to a similar Republican National Committee (RNC) volunteer program that sent thousands of poll watchers and election litigation assistants nationwide.
- Trump's announcement follows the formation of a Democratic election integrity task force, which he asserted would attempt to suppress Republican voters and interfere with elections.
- This initiative is part of Trump's ongoing efforts to implement more voting regulations, including restricting mail-in ballots, demanding federal voter ID laws, and redrawing congressional maps.
- His election denialism stems from unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was rigged, despite conclusions from election experts, state audits, federal judges, and his own administration that there was no widespread voter fraud.
