I’m writing today on a matter of utmost urgency, and with some vehemence to support/ Co-sponsor the Protect Our Polls Act. This new bill would ban the president from sending armed military or federal agents to polling sites without congressional approval. As a voter in every election I take our lunatic Presidents threat seriously when he says “I should have" when asked about deploying the National Guard to seize ballot boxes in 2020, and who hasn't ruled it out again. Because Trump is insane, it’s not him, but his puppet masters putting the idea out there. This is a Russian playbook. We never had a problem with polling places, alleged fraud, or other voting interference measures until the Republican Party and its corporate backers, realized they cannot win unless they lie, cheat and rig rlections snd gerrymander districts. Because Republican politicians have Zero policies anyone wants, except blame the other guys. They stand for nothing. Nothing. Federal law has technically prohibited this since the Civil War, but Trump has made clear he views those limits as optional. He's already deployed the National Guard to Democratic-run cities over local objections, the FBI raided an elections facility in Fulton County, and the Justice Department tried to seize voter rolls before courts stepped in. The pattern is obvious. The Protect Our Polls Act closes the loophole and requires Congress to sign off before any armed presence appears at a polling site. That's not a partisan ask — it's the minimum standard for a free election. Please co-sponsor this bill. Thank you.
