H.R.8825

Democracy Without Intimidation Act prohibits troops at polls and allows private right of action for violations.

The Democracy Without Intimidation Act removes the exception allowing troops at polls unless necessary to repel armed enemies. It also allows individuals aggrieved by violations of certain laws to bring a civil action against covered persons in federal court for injunctive relief. The act defines covered persons as those in the Senior Executive Service of a federal law enforcement agency or political appointees. The act mandates expedited consideration and direct appeal to the Supreme Court for final orders issued in such actions.
