Thank you, Mr. Chair. On February 2nd, President Trump said we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.

Under 18 U.S. code Section 592, military officers are prohibited from deploying troops or armed personnel to polling places unless necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States. (00:07–00:14)
