U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche stated unequivocally on Friday that the Department of Justice is not considering invoking the Insurrection Act to send federal law enforcement to polling stations during the November midterm elections. This follows comments from Donald Trump, who did not rule out the possibility in a recent interview. Blanche characterized the related concerns as "panic manufactured by Democrats" and said it was difficult to imagine a scenario in which the law would be invoked.
