Washington state Governor Jay Inslee has taken proactive measures by activating the state's National Guard in anticipation of potential civil unrest following the upcoming election. The decision comes in response to warnings from the Department of Homeland Security regarding the high level of threats to election infrastructure.
In a letter addressed to Maj. Gen. Gent Welsh, the adjutant general of the Washington Military Department, Inslee emphasized the importance of being prepared for any situation that may arise. The National Guard will be on standby for four days starting Monday to ensure the safety and security of the public.
