are elections covered by the same rules as riots where the gov has to invite the NG? The Constitution leaves election laws to each individual state so I don't think Federal law can supercede a governor who refuses NG protection.

Response to Orcs

FTA: 'Crucially, after the Civil War, Congress added a provision allowing the president to invoke the Act without a state’s permission if the state is failing to protect the Constitutional rights of its citizens.'

If invoked, no permission from Governor required, AND can federalize that state's NG to handle issue.

Thanks for the sauce link Xone. I sincerely hope military are active and ready today to walk into polling places tomorrow because I would sincerely like them to be in 50 states not 12. This is not me having any doubt whatsoever in President Trump. Or my God. It is just me being a human.

I am buckled up. Prayed up. Will be fasting and praying to ride this out. Going to cast my vote tomorrow with hubby and his mama at our local poll. Weather forecast here at 7AM tomorrow is sunny and 48.

God Bless America
God Bless all FreeQs
And God Bless President Donald J. Trump
