Trump couldn’t send troops to the polls without approval of Congress under Dem bill
U.S. Senate Democrats introduced the Protect Our Polls Act to require Congressional approval for deploying federal troops to polling places. The legislation aims to prevent President Donald Trump from invoking a legal exception to bypass the ban on military presence at elections, with provisions requiring 48-hour notice and prohibiting military access to election records. The White House responded by highlighting its own stalled legislation, the SAVE America Act.
