In brief
Military task force secretly targets voters to prevent foreign interference in 2026 elections. U.S. military secretly influences voters through cyber operations to counter foreign interference in 2026 elections. Originally reported by Kenklippenstein.
Military task force secretly targets voters
Task Force Raider operates from a windowless building in San Antonio, Texas, as part of a government-wide election security group.
“The entire election security scare is to indulge President Trump and assuage Democrats, all of whom fear interference and shenanigans, but not from foreign shores”
Military focuses on influence, not interference
Military targets Russian and Chinese attempts to change minds rather than votes, with the American people as vectors for foreign influence.
“Interference, however, is a loaded word. While it connotes the Kremlin hacking into polling places or changing the election count, Task Force Raider is actually more focused on the broader category of "influence", specifically Russian or Chinese attempts to change minds rather than to change votes”
Military officers uneasy about mission
Senior military intelligence officers express unease with the sprawling mission that includes sending anonymous messages and deleting social media posts.
“He and other military officers expressed unease with the sprawling mission. It encompasses everything from sending millions of anonymous text and voice messages abroad, to outright deleting social media posts or taking down entire websites”
Military violates election prohibitions
The mission violates longstanding prohibitions against military involvement in elections but enjoys support from both major political parties.
“All of this is in violation of longstanding prohibitions against any military involvement in elections whatsoever, yet enjoys the support of both major political parties”
Trump administration lacks evidence
The Trump administration hasn’t substantiated any country planning to interfere or meaningfully alter election outcomes.
“What’s more, for all the handwringing about election interference, the Trump administration hasn’t substantiated that any country (or any other foreigners) are planning to interfere or have any chance of meaningfully altering an outcome”
Pentagon prioritizes election security
Pentagon designates election security as the number one "operational priority" with a mission called "no fail".
“That is the mission directive that Pete Hegseth issued to the San Antonio cyber establishment last week, as I reported on recently”
Military regulates social media debate
Military regulates legitimate debate by creating false identities and influencing voters through cyber operations.
“My sources who are privy to this Top Secret effort all agree: the military is not just thwarting foreign actors from sowing discontent. They are also regulating what appears in social media, regulating legitimate debate”
Military targets voters in cyberspace
Military sends over three million text and voice messages to people in "countries of interest".
“According to documents I’ve obtained, Task Force Raider sent over three million (!) text and voice messages to people in "countries of interest"”
Military uses cyber operations to disrupt
Military units disrupt communications through "cellular coverage blackouts" and malware analysis.
“One unit, the "Demon Chasers" of the "91st Cyber Operations Squadron," the military’s premier offensive cyberspace squadron, contributes its expertise to the mix. Working from their 42,600-square-foot "multi-domain" secure facility... the 91st specializes in freezing out communications”
Military creates false identities
Soldiers create false internet identities to scout the web and influence voters without government attribution.
“An enormous part of the overall effort is "persona operations", where soldiers and other literal keyboard warriors create false identities and fake internet addresses to operate in cyberspace without government attribution”
Military targets democracy
Military actions threaten First Amendment rights by regulating speech and assembly.
“Congress shall make no law, the military officer says, when asked about proposed legislation. "It’s the first sentence of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Period."”
Military undermines democracy
Military actions undermine democracy by controlling speech and assembly through cyber operations.
“The officer, who describes himself as a nonpartisan believer that the Constitution always comes first, points out that the hundred-plus-year prohibition against posting federal soldiers at polling places had good reason behind it then and good reason now”
Military targets voters in 2026
Military task force secretly targets voters in 2026 elections to prevent foreign interference.
“What people don’t see is that the military is also eyeing the vote in a much more systematic way in cyberspace”
