Trump couldn’t send troops to the polls without approval of Congress under Dem bill
Senate Democrats introduced the Protect Our Polls Act, requiring Congressional approval for federal troop deployment to polling places in response to President Donald Trump's refusal to rule out sending troops. The bill mandates 48-hour notice, legal justifications, and prohibits military access to election records. The White House countered with the stalled SAVE America Act, which would require voters to provide citizenship proof.
