Late last night, President Trump tweeted out, “Martial law = Fake News.”
This comes on the heels of increasing calls by Gen. Michael Flynn, attorney Lin Wood, attorney Sidney Powell and many others who are calling on Trump to deploy the military in a limited role to seize ballots and voting machines in swing states where obvious election fraud occurred.

“Martial law” describes a scenario where the Constitution is suspended, elected officials are no longer in charge, and society is run by military generals.
The “Insurrection Act” refers to the law passed by Congress and ratified by the President in 1807. It is entirely constitutional and lawful and has been invoked at least 21 times by previous presidents, all without anything resembling “martial law.”
