Block Federal Agent Deployment at Polling Places

Reject Todd Blanche's refusal to commit to keeping armed federal agents away from polling places. When directly asked to rule out deploying armed agents to polls, he refused — saying only he'd "follow the law." That's not a safeguard. That's a threat dressed up in legal language. Federal law already prohibits deploying "troops or armed men" to polling places except in the narrowest circumstances. There is no evidence undocumented immigrants have voted illegally in numbers that could affect any election outcome. This isn't about election integrity — it's about suppression. Blanche himself stood at CPAC and questioned why anyone would object to ICE at polling places. Homeland Security Secretary Mullin and Press Secretary Leavitt have both declined to rule out ICE presence near polls in November. A federal judge has already ordered CBP to process documents about potential deployments after agents were found outside voting sites in Texas and California. Armed federal agents at polls will intimidate voters. That's the point. Multiple federal statutes make voter intimidation illegal, and you have both the authority and the obligation to act. Do not let this stand.
