Trump announces $1 million reward for voter fraud tips leading to convictions
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday that anyone reporting voter fraud in past elections or the 2026 midterms will receive $1 million upon arrest and conviction of those responsible. The announcement came a week before the 2026 midterm elections. Outlets noted the funding source was not specified, and Trump has repeatedly claimed past elections were marred by fraud.
