This bill requires explicit Congressional approval before federal troops or armed agents can be sent to polling places. Agency heads must issue a public report at least 48 hours in advance, detailing personnel, roles, duration, intelligence, locations, legal basis, training, and justification for the deployment. Congress must then rapidly review and vote on the request. The bill also blocks federal agencies from using funds to access or seize stored election records until January 20, 2029, to prevent voter intimidation and protect election integrity. These measures reinforce the ban on armed federal presence at polling sites and ensure any exceptions are rare and transparent.
