National Guard to Assist in Seven States Amid Election Scrutiny
As Americans head to the polls for the highly charged midterm elections, National Guard members in at least seven states will have some form of a role, including monitoring ballot boxes and defending election networks. The move has received intense scrutiny, with many Americans expressing concerns about the use of troops at polling sites. A new survey found that 59 percent of respondents believe the president should not use the federal military to monitor or administer elections. The development was reported by The Hill.
