Desperate times: Trump forks over $1 million for voter fraud tips Donald Trump has come up with a new get-out-the-vote strategy: Pay people $1 million to prove the election was rigged. In a recent Social Truth post, the president announced that he would give $1 million to anyone who reports voter fraud — payable only after an arrest and conviction — covering both the previous election and the upcoming 2026 midterms. “Anyone who reports fraud in the previous election, or in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those who created the fraud! " he wrote. The White House did not explain where the money would come from or how Americans are supposed to submit their tips. The award landed days before an election his party is expected to fight, and it fits a pattern: Trump has spent months insisting the system was rigged against him while his Justice Department grapples with examples of fraud. Last week, federal prosecutors charged 28 green card holders in California with illegally registering or voting, alleging that most of them voted fraudulently. Acting Attorney General Trent McCotter stated that "any illegal vote invalidates the vote of a legal American citizen" and noted that all 28 appear on a list of more than 20,000 suspected non-citizen registrants that the DOJ gave to California - a list that the state has refused to review. California Attorney General Rob Bonte immediately stated the obvious: 28 out of 23 million registered voters is 0.0001%, and it's not exactly a sweeping conspiracy. Needless to say, a president who genuinely believed his agenda was popular wouldn't need to crowdfund tips for scams with a seven-figure jackpot. Offering a million dollars for evidence of a crime that no one can find is not security - it's pretext.
