Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about troops at polling stations.

Trump allies are now suggesting the possibility of putting troops at polling stations.

That led to this question. Bell, you called that they couldn't cancel

the election. Then you called that federalizing wouldn't work either. Now they've moved on to just

saying they're going to put the troops at the polling stations. I know you say not to debate this, because it puts it in the window.

So is there anything that would actually stop them from putting troops at the polls?

If not, just don't answer or make a video.

So, I guess it's a big spoiler that I'm making a video.

There's a pretty big roadblock to this in Title 18.

It's actually titled Troops at Polls.

Quote, whoever, being an officer of the Army or Navy or other person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States.

Orders, brings, keeps, or has under his authority or control any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held,

unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies

of the United States, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years,

or both, and be disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States.

The only exemption is literally for troops to vote. What's being suggested is very much

explicitly prohibited by law. In fact, I've heard some commentary that the phrasing of this prohibits pretty much any type of

armed force directed by the executive branch at the polls. That being said, I'd actually be willing to

roll the dice on this one. They want to put U.S. troops at the polling stations. Do it.

What exactly do Trump allies think the U.S. military is going to do to American citizens

at polling stations on Election Day? First, they're falling for their own propaganda.
