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.

President Trump has also said he's sending out an ARMY of election lawyers to stop the steal

So if we had to evaluate his first term, he was a historically weak president.
“if we had to evaluate his first term” we’d honestly say he was not truly prepared for the true depth of corruption, treachery, chicanery, connivance, and outright treason of the Deep State, Democrats and RINOs. He campaigned on “draining the swamp” but he honestly had no idea how fetid the swamp really was.
The Swamp is stronger than ever.
Yes in terms of him controlling things...very weak.
But in terms of him exposing the level of corruption...extremely strong...probably the best ever. I knew it was bad but not that bad.
💯
Even the Republicans were against him.
Yeah. Trump revealed it all. The mask is off.
Written by Jim Hoft? I thought the Hoft brothers were in the hospital with some serious problems.
And we had to see how bad it was to support what we need to do to fix it. And honestly I don’t think he’s done enough yet though. FBI and CIA need to be dismantled. THey have corruption in their DNA...they will never be good.
I do not understand how anyone in this world can say that a mail in ballot is “secure”. Any ballot that does not have a two person witness signature/initial is an open door to fraud! One corrupt mail carrier on a mission can intercept thousands of ballots.
>> he honestly had no idea how fetid the swamp really was.
>> The Swamp is stronger than ever.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
From the sound of it the RNC chair IS.
They were turned into newts.
They got better.
This is very good. One of the complaints in 2020 was that the GOP didn’t act anywhere near soon enough to stop the fraud.
“The Swamp is stronger than ever.”
It does seem that way, doesn’t it?
I don’t think you know what the word “historically” means.
I would love to see the MSM clowns the morning after an honest election in this country. Imagine the utter wipeout of the democommie party that would occur if their cheating, vote-harvesting, ballot-curing, and fraud were taken out of the election equation.
Finally we're making progress in Congress. Took us 10 years. But we are no longer tolerating RINOs🚫 and that's a huge step.
Trump is still weak on arresting key leaders of the swamp especially Soros.
Low-level operatives are irrelevant.
If they win in 2028, the payback is going to be hell.
David Horowitz was correct: The key is the universities training every lawyer, bureaucrat, and aspiring professional to crave power and hate Americans.
The key to fixing it is the Dean of Faculty at each institution.
To which I should add that the President was correct in identifying accreditation as a powerful control point.
Whether new and competing accrediting bodies need to be set up or the existing entities be fixed is a serious question. Haven’t heard a peep out of the DOE for a very long time.
