Likely False: Trump is going to declare martial law and cancel the midterms.

“Trump is going to declare martial law and cancel the midterms.”

The facts: The President has no power to cancel or postpone the midterms. Federal law sets Election Day for Congress, and only Congress can change it (2 U.S.C. 7). No emergency power gives a president control over elections, and federal law makes it a crime to send troops or armed federal agents to a polling place (18 U.S.C. 592). Election Day is Nov. 3.
