he highest-ranking officer in the U.S. military says there are no plans to send troops to polling places during November's midterm congressional elections, addressing concerns among Democrats that the Trump administration could use the military to interfere with the vote.
Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the statement in a letter to Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who recently asked Caine and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to confirm they won't send troops to the polls.
"The Joint Force has no plans to send Federal military personnel or Federalized members of the National Guard to polling places during the 2026 elections," Caine said in the letter to Slotkin, which was obtained Monday by The Associated Press. "Likewise, the Joint Force has no plans to use such personnel to seize ballots, voting machines, or other election-related material."
Democrat landslides have been happening the past two years. Look at the election results at all levels from school boards to state houses to Congress. If they were going to rig elections they would and should have done so already, because those races matter a lot even if they aren't part of the midterms.
I'm assuming you're in Canada based on your instance, so let me tell you this: nobody who is a poll worker in the US has ever said that elections are rigged. I'd tell you to sign up today if you were in the US.
