US military confirms no troops will be sent to polling places in November

In the United States, General Dan Caine confirmed there are no plans to send military troops to polling places during the November 2026 midterm elections. This assurance was made in response to concerns from Senator Elissa Slotkin regarding potential military interference, particularly given past actions by the Trump administration. Caine emphasized that federal military personnel would not be deployed to seize ballots or voting machines, addressing fears of election manipulation.
