No, the president cannot legally deploy the National Guard or other armed federal troops to polling places. Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 592) explicitly makes it a criminal offense punishable by up to five years in prison to order or keep armed troops at any place where an election is held, UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY TO REPEL AN ACTIVE, ARMED ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES.

Active.....check
Armed.....check (at least with clubs and sticks)
Enemy.....Hmmmm (Black Panthers)

Seems like the precedent has already been set.
