Trump couldn’t send troops to the polls without approval of Congress under Dem bill
Senate Democrats introduced the Protect Our Polls Act to require Congressional approval for deploying federal troops to polling places, addressing concerns that President Trump might invoke a legal exception to bypass existing bans. The bill mandates 48-hour notice to Congress with justifications and prohibits military access to election records, while the White House countered by referencing stalled election security legislation.
