Montgomery, AL - Protections for Elections

Armed federal agents at your polling place
are already illegal. Your city council can enforce it.

18 U.S.C. § 592 — Federal Law Since 1865

Any federal employee who stations armed personnel at a polling place commits a felony. No exceptions — not for law enforcement, not for "keeping the peace." The DOJ's own manual bans FBI agents from polling places.

5 YEARS PRISON $250,000 FINE PERMANENT BAR FROM OFFICE

Why Montgomery?

Legal Authority

Alabama is a strict Dillon's Rule state with no general home rule — the most restrictive framework among all target states.

Why It Can Work Here

Symbolic significance as the birthplace of the civil rights movement.
