President Trump should declare martial law as recommended by General Flynn.”Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser pardoned by the president, recently shared a Twitter post advocating that the president “temporarily suspend the Constitution” and declare martial law. Under martial law, she said, troops would “go and seize these [voting] machines and voting equipment to find the voter fraud. “Senator Chase’s suggestion that martial law be imposed is absurd and dangerous,” Cox, a retired teacher, said in a written statement. “This is a good reminder that we don’t allow tyrants here in the Commonwealth.”Under martial law, the military takes control of civilian functions, such as law enforcement and the courts. The Republican Party of Virginia and the Senate Republican Caucus did not respond to requests for comment.
