Peter Ticktin said soldiers could decide the election if Democrats win, while the White House says he has no role in election policy.
- Attorney Peter Ticktin, a longtime Trump ally, raised martial law as a possible response if Republicans lose Congress on Tuesday, November 3, alongside proposals to declare a national security emergency to change election rules.
- Trump fueled these narratives by falsely reasserting he won the 2020 election and telling supporters to "cheat like hell," despite official Electoral College results showing Joe Biden defeated him 306 to 232.

- These calls for intervention emerge amid broader political instability, as strategists express concern regarding a fraying Republican coalition and insiders predict a "nightmare scenario" narrative regarding the midterm outcome.
