National Guard members in at least seven states will have some form of role around Tuesday's midterm elections, according to a report from The Hill. The report, written by Ellen Mitchell, is framed around the question of what role the US military will take at the polls. It appeared under the heading The Big Story in the outlet's Defense and National Security newsletter.

The excerpt of the report names National Guard members as the group with a role, and it places those roles in at least seven states. The excerpt is brief and stops partway through a sentence that begins with the words As Americans, so it does not say which seven states are involved. It also does not describe the specific duties the Guard members will carry out, and it does not identify the officials who arranged their roles.

The excerpt credits the reporter as Ellen Mitchell and attributes a photograph to Natasha Kaiser. No other outlet's coverage of the story was included in the materials for this report, so no conflicting accounts can be compared. The description of the National Guard's role therefore rests on The Hill's summary alone.

Because the full article was not available for this report, any details that appear later in the piece could not be confirmed. The facts reported here are limited to the opening lines of The Hill's story, which state the number of states, the timing around Tuesday's midterm elections, and the presence of National Guard members in those roles.
