November 01, 2024 Today, Gov. Jay Inslee activated some Washington National Guard members to be on stand-by in the event they are asked to support local law enforcement and the Washington State Patrol during election week. The governor has given The Adjutant General the authority to determine how many members of the Guard will be activated.
This is a purely precautionary measure taken in response to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s nationwide warnings regarding threats to election infrastructure and other recent activities that have occurred in southwestern Washington.
The Guard will be on stand-by for four days, beginning Monday, November 4, and ending just after midnight on Thursday, November 7, 2024.

Lombardo activates Nevada National Guard for Election Day
https://www.kolotv.com/2024/10/29/lombardo-activates-nevada-national-guard-election-day/
CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) - Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has activated a limited contingent of the Nevada National Guard to support local law enforcement on Election Day.
60 members of the Guard will be on standby status and stationed in Nevada National Guard facilities in Carson City and Las Vegas.
They will be present for things like traffic enforcement, building security, and to coordinate and facilitate communication statewide if more support is needed.
“After consulting with stakeholders across the state, I have decided that a precautionary activation of the National Guard makes sense at this time. We do not expect that these personnel will need to be deployed,” said Lombardo. “As a first responder, I know first-hand the importance of being prepared, and this decision reflects my commitment to safety and preparedness on Election Day. As always, I am deeply grateful to the men and women of our National Guard, and I appreciate their service to our state and country.”
Portland police gear up for potential election violence and National Guard on standby

Multiple states are putting their Guard on standby for elections.
But they couldn’t be bothered to defend Seattle during the riots in 2000.
Lincoln screwed up in 1865 by not eliminating all the radical Democrats. We are paying for it now.
Yeah.
Inslee didn’t send in the guard when a bunch of ANTIFA cordoned off the CHOP/CHAZ area of Seattle, declaring their own little sovereign country.
Nope. A “police matter”.
The Guard gig is a threat to Republicans: any complaining about our ballot stuffing, vote twiddling will be met with military force.
The Oh So Loving and Caring face bares its fangs to show its true nature.
I agree. Antifa is going to try to burn these deep blue cities down.
Which is funny.
Washington and OR are deep blue and have had vote only by mail for decades. There is no in person voting. There won’t be much if any GOP pushback because the GOP in these states is pretty much neutered.
But the dims lost control of Antifa and the criminal or crazy homeless element a long time ago.
Their little stormtroopers now seize every opportunity to riot and loot, without the permission of their overlords.
They plan to loot again regardless of who wins.
TPTB are just trying to tamp down what they know is coming.
The schadenfruede is sweet.
Curious, really. WA is deep blue, so is Inslee doing this as a pubicity stunt; or is he suggesting the Right will riot should Trump lose the election; or is he suggesting (the most likely scenario) the Left will riot when Trump wins the election? In the past he has taken little or no action against Leftist hooligans here in WA, so just what is our hapless governor up to?
He expects the criminals and Antifa to riot regardless of who wins. And hopes to pin it on the right with the help of the media.
Same old playbook.
