Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Sen. Alex Padilla unveiled the Protect Our Polls Act at a Capitol news conference on Thursday, marking the bill's formal introduction in the Senate.
The event centered on the pair's push to frame the legislation as a response to concerns around election administration and polling-place protections.
