This legislation would: ... Create a private right of action so voters can file a lawsuit against senior leadership and political appointees to stop any unlawful deployment — with expedited review and direct appeal to the Supreme Court.
Create a private right of action allowing voters to sue to stop unlawful deployments of troops or federal law enforcement at polling places.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. April McClain Delaney announced that she introduced the Democracy Without Intimidation Act. Her office said the bill would strengthen the ban on troops and federal law enforcement at polling places and would create a private right of action for voters to sue senior leadership and political appointees to stop unlawful deployments.
The list of enacted public laws for the 119th Congress through June 26, 2026, does not include the Democracy Without Intimidation Act or another enacted law creating a polling-place private right of action against unlawful troop or federal law-enforcement deployments.
Assessments
McClain Delaney introduced the Democracy Without Intimidation Act in the 119th Congress, and the described bill directly matches the promised private right of action for voters to sue over unlawful troop or federal law-enforcement deployments at polling places. However, the evidence shows it was only introduced and had not been enacted by the July 2, 2026 assessment date, so the promised legal right had not been created. The introduction qualifies as a serious legislative attempt during her current House term, warranting an effort badge but not delivery.
