- As Trump weighs troops at the polls, Senate Democrats move to require congressional approval
Senate Democrats introduced the Protect Our Polls Act to require congressional approval for deploying federal troops to polling places, responding to concerns raised by President Trump's openness to the idea. The legislation aims to block such deployments by requiring a congressional resolution and prohibiting military access to election records, while the White House countered by referencing stalled voting restrictions in the SAVE America Act.
