Latest action on S. 4121: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects voters, election workers, and people carrying guns near federal polling or ballot-counting sites. Police and some security guards would have exceptions while working. People in nearby homes or businesses could keep lawful guns on their property. Drivers could keep a gun inside a vehicle if they do not remove or display it in the restricted area.
Why this matters: Guns near voting and ballot-counting sites can raise fears about threats or violence. This bill could reduce that risk by creating one federal rule around covered sites. It could also affect people who legally carry guns near those locations. Its impact would depend on how clearly officials mark the 100-yard area and how police apply the rule.
