BREAKING: Ron DeSantis Signs Emergency Order To Deploy Armed National Guard to Polling Stations in 3 Battleground States – Critics Call It ‘Voter Intimidation’

The claim is circulating that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed an emergency executive order authorizing the deployment of the Florida National Guard to polling locations in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona, citing “unprecedented threats of federal election interference.” The posts include a blurry image of an official-looking document with the state seal.

VERDICT: FAKE

Fact-Check: This is a fabricated document. Governor DeSantis has no legal authority over National Guard units in other states, and the Florida National Guard cannot be deployed outside of Florida without federal approval under Title 10 of the U.S. Code. The Florida Governor’s Office has confirmed that no such order exists. The image is an altered template from a 2020 COVID-19 emergency order. Sharing this false claim risks undermining faith in the election process.
