U.S. Military Will Play No Role In Election

Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress the U.S. armed forces will have no role in carrying out the election process or resolving a disputed vote, the AP reports.

The comments from Milley “underscore the extraordinary political environment in America, where the president has declared without evidence that the expected surge in mail-in ballots will make the vote ‘inaccurate and fraudulent,’ and has suggested he might not accept the election results if he loses.”
