Trump ally calls to deploy US Army at voting sites to 'nationalize the election'

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon called on President Donald Trump to "nationalize" elections by deploying the U.S. Army to voting locations.

During an angry Wednesday rant about Trump's decision to pull Homeland Security agents out of Minneapolis, Bannon argued that the administration should provide "zero" cooperation with cities in blue states.

"All of them got to go," he said of immigrants. "And President Trump has to nationalize the election."

Bannon said deploying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to polling sites would not be enough to stop undocumented voters.

"You've got to call up the 82nd and 101st Airborne on the Insurrection Act!" Bannon bellowed. "You've got to get around every poll and make sure only people with IDs, people are actually registered to vote, and people that are United States citizens vote in this election!"

"Full stop. We will not accept anything less!" he added.

In recent days, Trump has openly said that he would like to "nationalize" U..S. elections, which are controlled by the states.
