Life & Work

Federal employees who help administer federal elections or oversee ballot counting at polling places would gain a new layer of legal protection. By making it a federal crime to bring a firearm near where they work on election day, the bill aims to reduce the risk of armed intimidation that election workers have increasingly reported in recent years.
