Former President Donald Trump has been fixated on election fraud since leaving the White House, and now a group of prominent allies are launching a new initiative focused on it.

The American Greatness Fund, a nonprofit advocacy group aligned with the ex-president, is set to unveil the formation of the Election Integrity Alliance on Wednesday, which it says will be “focused on ending election fraud and strengthening election safeguards by providing information, resources, endorsements of allies’ efforts, and solutions to secure free and fair elections.”

Ballot fraud has become an animating issue for Trump supporters, since the former president has baselessly claimed the 2020 election was tainted by it. Several of the alliance’s board members, including former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik became prominent voices in the former president’s failed effort to fight the election outcome.

“The Election Integrity Alliance’s National Board is comprised of individuals who have fought for election integrity at great personal risk and who are champions for free and fair elections,” the organization said in a statement.

1. "Who have fought for election integrity at great personal risk" of what? Ridicule?

Complete loss of respect?

[lastlib]

29. They are only "champions of free and fair elections" when...

...those elections elect right-wing republiQans. If those elections elect Democrats, they are fraudulent (in their little disturbed minds).

2. These people are totally insane .. .....

[twodogsbarking]

5. Scary to think what one idiot can do

to other idiots, eh.

[OldBaldy1701E]

9. Not as scary

as what one idiot can do with other idiots!

[mdbl]

16. who knew until now that this country is full of em

total idiot imbeciles that still watch and listen to right wing nut jobs.

[twodogsbarking]

18. People are interesting

and difficult to figure. Quite easy to influence many.

[ck4829]

3. Great! So they'll be calling for more international election observers and working to encourage 100%

turnout so IF somebody were to really commit election fraud, then that fraud would quickly be exposed, can't wait.

It will be great to see "ideas" about stoping "election fraud" that just AREN'T things making it harder for poor people and minorities to vote. That's what they'll do here, right? Right?

[OldBaldy1701E]

10. Of course! (n/t)

[raging moderate]

19. This is what WE will have to do.

Some great Americans will have to launch a REAL election integrity task force to stop REAL election fraud. Fight fire with fire.

[John Ludi]

4. They have learned

that 30% of the population will believe anything they throw at them...even if it changes from day to day. And that 30% is the most fully armed segment of the population and have traditionally been the type most likely to use those arms against the threats they are being indoctrinated to perceive.

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em...

6. The key word here is "fund" not "fraud."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

8. "The American Greatness Fund"

Why do I smell a grift coming? Now is this different from trump's new platform to get around his
ban from twitter and facebook?

BTW Voter fraud does not happen now election fraud is real and it is done via the machines, gerrymandering,
removal of legitimate voters from voter rolls, closing down polls and limiting early voting, and misinformation.

[Vinca]

11. At least they've got a starting point: the Trump voter who cast a second vote for Trump

in the name of his dead mother. He just entered a guilty plea.

[Botany]

12. It was some school like Rutgers or Princeton or ? that looked at 1 billion votes and found ...

... something like 6 possible case of voter fraud by people voting twice or voting for somebody else.

However this will give the mouth breathers who watch Fox something to latch onto as they are being
lied to by Fox News.

[FakeNoose]

13. This is the new grift - he doesn't even have to run for office anymore

... just collect "donations" from all the rubes who can't wait to send him their money.

[Jon King]

7. Let me guess, same donor list being passed around.

Another scam money maker using same donor list they must sell to each other. Lots of boxes to be unchecked to avoid recurring donations, announcements on Fox, etc.

These guys recycle the same scam over and over again.

[ewagner]

14. At first, I misunderstood the headline...

I thought it meant that the GOP was finally coming out as an organization PROMOTING election fraud...and maybe teaching others HOW TO PERFORM ELECTION FRAUD...

Problem is, I would find that totally believable....

[lonely bird]

15. No, you got it right

You obviously can interpret Orwell-speak.

[gab13by13]

17. Nothing more than another scam to make money.

[twodogsbarking]

20. Yes it is true.

21. The American Greatness Fund, lol. Make Donald Trump's Bank Balance Great Again!

[MissMillie]

22. "Former President Donald Trump has been fixated on election fraud since leaving the White House,..."

Since long before then, but even the ultra-conservative think tank ("think" is not the right word, but you get my drift) says that voter fraud has NEVER decided an election (they started keeping track after 2000).

Of course we all know this.

I'd like to say they're wasting their money, but they'll end up wasting tax-paying money by putting forth laws that states will pass and that tax-dollars will end up being used to defend. And in the meantime, millions of voters will be disenfranchised.

[samsingh]

23. why the 'f' are we not launching a repug fraud and voter suppression commission

there was voter fraud. I believe all or most was committed by repugs.

why are we being passive. Let the news out.

[xxqqqzme]

24. Naming their cons makes it easier

to keep track of how many fools are still falling for this crap and handing money to these thieves.

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. Soooo many choices for the Deplorables on where they want to waste their $$.

[oldsoftie]

26. "nonprofit"? My big 'ol ass.

[ananda]

27. OK, so I just donated again to Democracy Docket and..

Texas Democrats - Fair Fight!

So there!

[Permanut]

28. Mike Lindell says he has absolute proof..

He has a website where it is all explained in minute detail. There's no doubt whatsoever, he says. And he has such impressive credentials as an election expert, and as a master of cybersecurity, and as, well, just an all-around wonderful human being, who wouldn't believe him?

[onetexan]

30. Still profiting from the big lie & trying to lend the wift of legitimacy to their lie

[moreland01]

31. LOl

Election Fraud Guaranty Alliance? Perfect name!

32. Former Donald Trump Aides Constitute Majority of Election Integrity Alliance's Board

Allies of Donald Trump have set up a group called the Election Integrity Alliance—with a board made up mostly of the former president's aides—as part of their campaign to delegitimize the electoral process that led to Joe Biden's victory in 2020.

The alliance was launched on Wednesday by the American Greatness Fund, a Trump-aligned non-profit organization, Politico reported.

On its website, the American Greatness Fund said the alliance would act as a "centralized hub" to "unite groups and efforts across the nation focused on combating election fraud" and "provide resources to state legislators and the public on challenges to free and fair elections."

The website statement continued: "Free and fair elections are the foundation of a civil government that has power only by consent of the governed. Only through election integrity can our American government operate according to its limited and legitimate role in civil society."

Guess the upside is if it's filled with Trump lackeys it's likely to not be very effective.
