Rep. April McClain Delaney announced that she introduced the Democracy Without Intimidation Act. Her office said the bill would strengthen the ban on federal law enforcement and troops at polling places and would 'Reinforce the civil rights enforcement authority Congress gave magistrate judges after the Civil War.'

This is concrete official evidence of effort: McClain Delaney introduced a bill containing the promised magistrate-judge civil-rights-enforcement provision during her first House term. It does not show enactment.

The official U.S. Code page for 42 U.S.C. 1989 says the text contains laws in effect on June 15, 2026. It still lists the existing magistrate-judge warrant authority and source credits from Reconstruction-era statutes, with later changes only for the Federal Magistrates Act and 1990 name change.

After the May 14, 2026 bill announcement, the official U.S. Code still showed no enacted reinforcement of 42 U.S.C. 1989. That weighs against fulfillment as of the assessment date, while the introduced bill counts as effort.

The official U.S. Code page for 18 U.S.C. 592 says the text contains laws in effect on June 22, 2026. The statute still includes the exception for force necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States and lists no post-1994 amendment.

The companion statutory provision targeted by the Democracy Without Intimidation Act remained unchanged after the bill was introduced, indicating the promise had not been enacted by the latest official code update before July 2, 2026.
