2026 Elections
President Trump's leadership has proven how much we can accomplish when Conservatives stand together and fight for our country. As we prepare for crucial 2026 elections, we want to thank you for your unwavering support of the Election Integrity Program— and now, the work continues.
Why This Matters
President Trump's victories remind us: when Republicans win, America wins— and together we can drive real improvements in our economy, public safety, health, and freedoms. But it all starts with fair and honest elections. We need your help to ensure every legal vote counts by serving as a Republican-nominated election inspector.
This November, the Republican Party of Wisconsin's County Parties will officially nominate election inspectors to serve through 2027. Republican election inspectors will play a key role at polling locations across the state by:
✅ Managing ballots and official election documents
✅ Ensuring elections are conducted honestly and lawfully
✅ Enforcing Wisconsin's new voter ID amendment
✅ Strengthening voter confidence in our electoral system
How This Role Is Different
You may be asking: How is a partisan election inspector different from a poll observer?
➡️ Republican-nominated inspectors are prioritized over non-partisan applicants
➡️ Republican nominees are scheduled ahead of non-affiliated workers for duties
➡️ Republican nominees can be trained for critical roles like Early In-Person Absentee Voting and Special Voting Deputies serving in nursing homes, care facilities, and at early voting sites
By stepping into this role, you help guarantee strong Republican representation at polling locations and reinforce trust in the electoral process.
Take The Next Step
Republican election workers are the front line of protecting our elections. By becoming an election inspector, you'll ensure Republican values, priorities, and voters are defended at every stage of the democratic process.
If you’re ready to take action as a Republican election inspector in 2026 and 2027, now is the time to act.
Together, we can safeguard Wisconsin's future and continue to prioritize our nation's prosperity and growth— one secure vote at a time!

President Trump Endorses Brad Schimel For WI Supreme Court
 Election Integrity Update We are only 8 days out from the April 1st election and we need your help to ensure it is conducted with the utmost integrity. This election is crucial to restore balance to the State Supreme Court, revitalize our education system, and ensure that our future elections remain secure by ensuring that only citizens can vote in our elections. Election observers are crucial to our success this spring, as proven last November when we helped put President Trump back in the Whitehouse. During early voting this past week, our observers have been crucial to combating radical students on UW-Madison's campus who attempted to influence voters by electioneering outside of polling places. Because of dedicated observers on the ground we were able to halt these illegal actions immediately, and encourage an investigation to reprimand the campus group leading the actions so that it does not continue to happen in the future. As you can see, your presence at the polls matters immensely and that is why we need your help. Please, sign up to observe on election day and help us address any and all issues that arise that threaten the integrity of our elections. To schedule an observing shift, please respond to this email with your availability. Training Information This is the LAST WEEK of training before the April 1st election. These trainings will review roles and responsibilities of an election observer, as well as discuss election administration.

Thank YOU!
Letter from Mike Hoffman, Republican Party Election Integrity Team
Fellow Conservative,
I wanted to reach out just before the thanksgiving holiday and say how thankful the Republican Party Election Integrity Team is for each and every one of you. Whether you worked the polls or watched the polls, you made a significant contribution for a safe, secure, and transparent election.
On November 5th, the War Room got over 1,100 reports and over 250 more during Early Voting. The primary issue we heard related to observer access, we had reports of observer access issues coming from Hudson, Green Bay, Racine, and Milwaukee. The most pressing issue came from Milwaukee Central Count, where they delayed the start of processing and literally had to recount 30,000 ballots at around 4:00pm. We brought Senator Johnson and Chairman Schimming to Central Count where they were able to see how the City of Milwaukee was not prepared and did not have the staff to count these in a timely manner. After their visit, an email was sent to all city employees asking if they could come in and help finish the job.
We want to thank Eric Hovde for running for the United States Senate. He fought radical leftist Tammy Baldwin tooth and nail. He brought attention to critical issues that impact us right here at home like the crisis at the border and the reckless spending habits of Senator Baldwin and the Biden Administration. He actively supported election integrity efforts this year and will continue to be an advocate to improve our system of election administration.
WisGOP Chairman Schimming said, "Thank you Eric Hovde for running a hard-fought and honorable campaign against an entrenched career politician. Eric's campaign was focused on ideas not personal attacks which resulted in the second most votes in Wisconsin Republican history. We have a stronger party as a result of Eric's work."
Here are some relevant election integrity news articles!

Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your commitment for a safe, secure, and transparent election. We are 134 days away until we send a Republican to the State Supreme Court to take back the majority. Stay in this fight.
Best,
Mike Hoffman
