I’m conflicted about this. On the one hand, they’d probably do a bang-up job because they probably have a lot of experience dealing with voter fraud and election integrity in countries we’ve attempted to democratize, like Afghanistan and Iraq. On the other, it would make it seem to some (mostly libtards, but also probably some in the middle) like the military is taking sides in an American election, which is what stops us from becoming shitholes like Mali. (A few months ago, Mali’s twice-democratically elected president was ousted in a coup by the military, which is currently ruling the country under the leadership of the general who lead said coup.) I’m not saying it would be a coup, but some people in the middle might be alienated by it and it could start the US on a very bad slippery slope.
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

I don’t disagree at all, and it is within the military’s preview, I’m just saying the optics wouldn’t be the greatest.
