AI Summary
This bill, the Election Fraud Prevention Act, proposes to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit federal payments to states that allow "ballot harvesting" - the practice of third-party collection and submission of mail-in ballots. The bill defines specific individuals who would be allowed to collect and transmit ballots, such as election officials, postal service employees, and family/household members of the voter. The bill aims to address concerns around the potential for fraud in ballot collection practices by restricting who can handle voters' completed mail-in ballots.
