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.

McClain Delaney introduced legislation directly matching the promise, including a private right of action, but the release describes what the bill would do, not an enacted law.

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.

Available enacted-law listings through late June 2026 show no enacted version of McClain Delaney's proposal before the July 2, 2026 assessment date.

never same_term A for effort

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.
