Democrats cheat in elections. They just do. They probably always have, at least in certain enclaves like Chicago and New York City. In more recent times, cheating has become the one way the party can maintain any semblance of power.If you think that Joe Biden really got 80 milion votes after he and Kamala had a hard time filling up campaign venues, then I’ve got some oceanfront property in Colorado to sell you.
That said, the Domestic Terrorist Party has been fighting the Trump administration tooth and nail as it tries to get the SAVE America Act passed, clean up out-of-date voter registration rolls, and prosecute past vote fraud when they find it.
So there’s no reason to believe that the party has gotten cheating out of its system. Republicans know this, and that’s why they are stepping up nationwide efforts to ensure the Democrats have as few opportunities as possible to steal elections nationally and locally during the midterms:
Fresh off declaring “victory” over Virginia’s roughly $65 million redistricting ballot measure — which Republicans criticized as a “dark money”-backed gerrymander — the Republican National Committee is looking to capitalize on that momentum.
Describing the RNC as “disciplined and ruthless,” Chairman Joe Gruters revealed that the committee launched a multimillion-dollar election integrity push ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The effort involves hiring directors in 17 states to recruit poll workers, poll watchers and election observers, while coordinating legal and Election Day oversight across key battlegrounds, Fox News Digital has learned.
Democrats are currently facing significant financial challenges and are burdened by debt, particularly following the $83 million spent on the Virginia ballot initiative, which the Virginia Supreme Court recently ruled unconstitutional.
Additionally, after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which declared racial gerrymandering of elections unconstitutional, Democrats are experiencing further setbacks due to redistricting processes occurring in certain Southern states.
Therefore, faced with the very distinct possibility of becoming completely irrelevant for the foreseeable future, fully expect Democrats to pull out every cheating trick in the book. But Chairman Gruters is saying, “Not on my watch”:
The directors will be the legal “eyes and ears on every vote cast and counted” in every battleground these midterms, according to officials. It is all coming from the top down, echoing President Donald Trump’s longstanding argument that the people counting votes are as important as those casting them.
The RNC plans to employ election integrity experts who are already based in the 17 states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina. These experts have a deeper understanding of local laws than many outside attorneys.
However, experienced attorneys will also be available on-site to assist as needed. Additionally, RNC officials intend to extend these operations across entire states rather than focusing on specific congressional districts. This strategy appears to be an efficient use of the RNC’s resources.
Supporters argue that approach reflects fiscal responsibility and a broader strategic shift — something that seemingly left Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias publicly frustrated.
Elias is something between a toilet bug and some dog stuff on the bottom of your shoe after you step in it, so seeing him ‘frustrated’ is a good thing.
But there’s also this: Seasoned election integrity experts are welcoming the RNC effort because they’ve seen the cheating up close and personal:
As a former Arkansas Election Commissioner who lived through the 2020 mess, I can tell you exactly why the RNC’s election integrity operation is essential. I’ve seen the failures up close. We were literally locked out of our buildings while decisions got made behind closed doors and voted ballots were left unsecured. COVID was weaponized to erode our system, expand mail voting, remove chain of custody procedures, and limit observers under the guise of ‘safety.’ It literally led to a lost House seat due to 327 illegally counted votes.
That’s exactly why poll watchers exist. Transparency isn’t suppression. It’s the bedrock of trust. Democrats screaming that basic oversight is a ‘threat’ says it all. Perhaps, Elias should read up on actual election history and maybe read his own organization’s write-up on why poll watchers are necessary.
American voters deserve real safeguards, not more gaslighting by the Left and their foreign dark money donors.
This is a boost for voters who have expressed frustration with the Republican Party’s lack of progress on election integrity. Gruters and the RNC plan to further expand this infrastructure in preparation for the 2028 election, which is just over two years away.
