A spokesperson for the Department of Defense dismissed claims about the military potentially involving itself in a dispute after the November election.

“We have a Constitution, and our Constitution, which all members of the military have sworn an oath to, provides no role for the U.S. military as arbiter of political or election disputes,” Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told reporters on Thursday.
