Asked by Sen. Amy Klobuchar whether voter intimidation was prohibited by federal law, Barrett declined to answer.

On the second day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Judge Amy Coney Barrett refused to answer Sen. Amy Klobuchar's (D-MN) questions when asked whether federal law prohibits voter intimidation at the polls.

In recent months, voter intimidation and voter suppression have been hot-button issues, with Donald Trump during the first presidential debate going so far as to openly solicit his supporters to commit voter intimidation.

"Go to the polls and watch very carefully," Trump said, before spiraling into frequently debunked conspiracy theories about widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania.

Discussing poll watching by armed citizens, Klobuchar had a pressing question to ask Barrett during her allotted time.
