“The Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U.S. Code, Section 1385, an original intent of which was to end the use of federal troops [TO POLICE STATE ELECTIONS] in former Confederate states, proscribes the role of the Army and Air Force in executing civil laws and states.”
KEY EXCEPTIONS TO THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT
“Pursuant to the presidential power to quell domestic violence, federal troops are expressly exempt from the prohibitions of Posse Comitatus Act, and this exemption applies equally to active-duty military and federalized National Guard troops.”
What is Adam Schiff trying to prevent?
Everything you are witnessing [past & present [future]] centrally revolves around the Presidential Election of 2020.
Win by any means necessary [self-preservation].

Well, that settles the debate about the Possee Comitatus Act. Interesting tht originally the intent was to oversee state elections!
I’m leaning more and more toward a theory that every ballot is going to have either a NG or active/reserve military person assigned to ensure a fair election. If they are mailed then they will have someone in the post office assigned to receive and place in a ballot box. if live then a person at every polling station.
According to the federal US Election Assistance Commission, there were 174,252 precincts and 113,754 polling places in the 2004 US presidential election, with an average of approximately 800 voters per precinct. https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/pape...
It probably has changed since 2004, given that there was a realignment after the 2010 census.
However even if we double it (~350,000) or triple it (~525,000) we still would have more than enough military (NG, Active, & Reserve) to assign to each + enough left over for every post office. (~142k blue collection boxes, ~31k retail postal offices, and 42k zip codes).
The US military stands at: 1.4M active, 860k reserve, and ~330k NG. Some locations such as APO, FPO, embassies, and consulates already have personnel stationed so the overall number impacted may be reduced to an assigned duty.
Assume only the NG and Reserves are available then that would put it at ~1.2M without impacting active duty personnel activities. Enough for 3 at every polling station and 2 at every postal box, office, and zip.
Super basic tear down of the numbers... but way doable. And they would take extreme pride in it.
