AI Summary
This bill, the Election Fraud Prevention Act, amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit federal funding to states that allow "ballot harvesting" - the practice of individuals, other than voters, collecting and transmitting absentee ballots. The bill defines who is permitted to collect and transmit ballots, such as election officials, postal workers, and certain family members or caregivers. The findings highlight concerns about ballot harvesting creating vulnerabilities in the chain of custody and potential for undue influence over voters. The bill aims to ensure the integrity of federal elections by restricting the collection and transmission of ballots by unauthorized third parties.
