-UNKNOWN EMERGENCY-@dcfireems fire crews appear to be at the scene of the US Capitol building for an unknown emergency matter.
First alarm response on scene (from the looks of it on camera).

More from Government
NEW: the Georgia House Special Committee on Election Integrity is meeting at 3 this afternoon and just added HB 531 - a 48 page omnibus elections bill that proposes a *lot* of changes. #gapol
Here's the text:
First, it would ban county elections offices from receiving outside funding to run elections.
This, after CTCL and Schwarzenegger gave money to both D and R counties in 2020 to help with pandemic.
(although I wonder if the county gov't could take the grant, then disburse?)
Next, it outlines ways that poll workers can serve adjacent counties (currently, you can only work in your county of residence)
This section mirrors an SOS-backed bill from 2020 that would require more machines, more poll workers or splitting up precincts if a 2,000+ person precinct has lines of more than an hour.
More on that proposal: https://t.co/7BfIcrI81q
This is an anti-Fulton County mobile voting bus section
(although I still believe that it's using the wrong code section since the busses are for *early* voting and fall under 21-2-382)
