Exactly. It’s not just illegal in federal law, but also codified in state laws. Armed law enforcement is absolutely verboten within a certain radius of voting sites. Several states have already announced plans about countering the voter interference they fully expect to have to deal with.
Anyone concerned should also look up their local laws to be sure. Here’s another article with straightforward information about what the real situation is on the ground in general for those interested. From that article:
If a voter sees armed officials at a polling place, they should alert the election officials at the polling place right away. Election officials have specific procedures to follow to report the situation and have it appropriately handled in an efficient manner.
This robber administration is desperate. The orange chancre doesn’t want to go to prison. But most of us don’t have to wait for Election Day and we can vote by mail, absentee ballot, ballot drop-off box, and early voting right now.
He’s trying to make people scared to vote with this kind of theater, but there’s no reason to be. We just have to be wise, educated, and willing to look out for each other.

If a voter sees armed officials at a polling place, they should alert the election officials at the polling place right away. But what if it's a drop box, where there is no polling official? I live in Washington, and many or most people here use unattended drop boxes.
