Can governors legally call up their own state's national guard to protect polling places on election day?

They need to keep ICE and the Feds far away from people voting.

Hey, Mike Johnson

You want to know who REALLY hates America

Take a look at your own party

Thousands of messages from Young Republicans praise Hitler, use vile racist language, glorify rape and are outwardly homophobic

And if you ask “where do they get it from”

Well-sh*t rolls downhill, they say
