The Republican National Committee is escalating its election integrity war ahead of the 2026 midterms.
RNC Chairman Joe Gruters announced that Republicans have already launched 130 lawsuits across 32 states aimed at blocking Democrat efforts to “cheat every single day” in U.S. elections.
The announcement comes as President Donald Trump recently vowed to unleash a much larger “Election Integrity Army” than the one Republicans used in 2024, signaling that the GOP is preparing for an all-out legal and ground-game fight over ballot security, vote counting, and election procedures in battleground states.
Gruters laid it all out in no uncertain terms, exposing exactly what the Democrats are up to during an interview on Fox News:
Gruters: Well, listen, the president, when he asked me to take this position, said, “We’ve got to make sure our elections are safe and secure. We have to continue to build on the success that Lara Trump and Michael Whatley built in the 2024 cycle.”
And yes, the Democrats are trying to cheat every single day. That’s why we have 130 lawsuits. We’re bringing the hammer wherever we can — in 32 states where we have lawsuits because the Democrats are trying to cheat every single day.
It doesn’t matter if it’s redistricting. It doesn’t matter if—what they’ve done is allowed tens of millions of illegals to come across our border, and they’re trying to figure out ways to get them to vote.
That’s why we’re always focused on making sure we have integrity in the system, so that we can have confidence in our democracy. And we’re putting people in place. We’ve already hired staff in 17 states, and we’re going to continue our strong litigation effort to make sure we beat back these Democrats and their efforts, which have been ongoing for decades, to try to steal elections.
🚨 JUST IN: RNC Chair Joe Gruters announces 130 LAWSUITS across 32 states to block Democrats from cheating in the elections — and MORE are coming
President Trump has also said he's sending out an ARMY of election lawyers to stop the steal
We are starting to fix it, they are no longer getting federal funds. Families are realizing that college is a scam.
Zero justice, zero midterm vote!
If they continue to REFUSE to handle this in a civilized manner, they are condemning us to violence in the streets. Imagine the wrong veterans getting stopped at a Minneapolis style ANTIFA checkpoint. They would make Kyle Rittenhouse look like the amateur he is. This style of incident is coming. The left is already shooting.
"Conservative" reps ALWAYS lose thier moral potence and FA when it comes to granting justice.
If all they want is power, prestige, and pay yet CONTINUE to shirk DUTY, they'll get NONE OF IT!! It is the same in the end.
My ancestors didn't fight the revolution and win the world wars so our QUISLING" representatives" could just give it all away!!
I am a Christian, a mocked Eagle Scout, a US Marine Combat Veteran, and a law abiding citizen. I am a representative of the JUSTICE WING.
169 days until FO!
Good
Many still are
So if we had to evaluate his first term, he was a historically weak president.
.......
Some could say he caught the swamp in his first term, even including all of those involved in a stolen Presidential election and coup.
And the only thing we haven’t seen literally yet is the trials and executions of these Coup Co-conspirators.
But that might include people still in Congress or in Judicial seats, or Governors.
I don’t know if America is strong enough to be shown just how weak it has been while the long train of abuses and usurpations was allowed to get longer.
The Declaration of Independence didn’t hang on the wall in his first term.
It does now.
And that’s a sign the People were too weak to do what it says they had a duty to do.
Maybe there’s only one place the Revolution can be fought with such a weak People.
From the Oval Office, who the weak People did give him a mandate to obliterate and drain.
Oh why hasn’t he done the job the People were tasked with quicker?
And many still are. They don’t want their government grift to dry up either.
Juan Osavin says the primaries are already cooked.
And we can always rely on the integrity of judges, right?
It’s been my experience that democrat lawyers are out in the precincts on election day fighting for their voters while the Republicans lawyers are hanging out at party headquarters drinking coffee and maneuvering for political jobs if their candidates win.
Republican lawyers think precinct level work is beneath them.
“illegals to come across our border, and they’re trying to figure out ways to get them to vote.”
I wonder if the heads and spokespeople for this have any real world experience in the trenches? Their comments seem out of touch with reality.
Very few illegals vote. Vote Harvesters vote on behalf of the DEAD, NON-CITIZENS (both legal and illegal), minors age 16-17, Movers, Vacant Houses, Vacant Lots. Vote Harvesters do not have a preference for one over the other. They usually have a preference for same sex, same age group to appear plausible.
MOTOR VOTER registers many to vote. That is how minors, non-citizens get registered.
Vote Harvesters will vote on behalf of anyone they think they can. pretend to be.
“the GOP didn’t act anywhere”
The #1 problem is that MAGA sits in front of the screen to cheer or boo.
The Democrats have a ground game and knock door-to-door.
Anyone with a good ground game personally knows who are his voters...and who are the voters for the other side...and who are the independent thinking split voters. Anyone with a good ground game gets the errors removed from the precinct voter lists.
Until MAGA or any opposition to the Democrats gets a good ground game, the Democrats will have the edge.
I don’t see social media, AI, modern technology or anything else changing this.
He is one man fighting in a sea of corruption. All you have to do is look at the "Save Act" and how it's doing in the Senate to see what the problem is.
Yup.
That’s my point.
Govt of the Swamp, by the Swamp for the Swamp hasn’t perished from this earth.
It’s being fought from one Office in one part of 1/3 of the Swamp Branches of Govt.
The other 2/3 Branches of the Swamp Govt have looked like resistance.
How much of the Executive Branch is still resistance, don’t know.
Not as much as the previous term.
Trump trusted groups like The Federalist Society and didn’t know just how corrupt the entire swamp has become. All his trusted advisors were swamp rats. His VP. Chief of staff. Etc. no one had his back. Now he realizes it and has darted.
