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, citing concerns that President Donald Trump might invoke a legal exception to bypass existing bans. The bill mandates 48-hour notice to Congress and prohibits military personnel from accessing election records using federal funds.
