Trump campaign says it will deploy ‘soldiers’ to polling places

The Trump campaign says it plans to change tactics from 2020 when Joe Biden beat the then-incumbent president by more than 7 million votes, and this time go on "offense" by having "soldiers" and "poll watchers" at polling places.

Despite the Trump campaign's relentless claims of voter fraud, more than 60 court rulings found those claims to be unsupported by facts: there was no significant voter fraud. Last year The Brookings Institution cited an extensive report from the right-wing Heritage Foundation, which found, for example, voter "fraud in Texas amounted to 0.000096% of all ballots cast."

Marjorie Taylor Greene reduced to 'raging against reality': GOP strategist

Jeanine Pirro, the Fox News pundit who is also a former judge, raised eyebrows Monday when she made a strange legal comparison between former President Donald Trump and two notorious convicted fraudsters.
