National Guard personnel in 20 states and the District of Columbia have been activated or are on standby to aid local authorities ahead of Tuesday’s election, Pentagon officials said Monday. Around 125 National Guardsmen in 10 states have been activated for election support so far,

The National Guard has hundreds of troops activated or on standby across the country to defend against cyber attacks and support operations during Tuesday’s presidential election.

Pennsylvania is one of 10 states with National Guard troops on “standby” for election support, the governor’s office confirms.

Ahead of potential civil unrest due to Tuesday’s presidential election, the National Guard is on standby as a precaution in several states, including Washington state and Oregon, where hundreds of ballots were damaged or destroyed after at least three ballot drop boxes were recently set on fire,

Oregon and Nevada also plan on having National Guard troops on standby to assist local law enforcement on election day.

Washington’s National Guard is now on standby for unlawful activity related to the election, but officials are saying very little about what that means.
