Bill > S3142

This bill, known as the Election Worker and Polling Place Protection Act, aims to protect election workers and polling places from intimidation, interference, and physical damage. It amends the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to impose fines and imprisonment for anyone who, whether acting under the color of law or not, uses force, threats, or violence to interfere with a person's ability to vote or serve as a poll watcher or election official. The bill also penalizes those who willfully damage or threaten to damage election infrastructure, such as polling places and tabulation centers. The bill includes provisions to ensure that federal prosecution of these offenses is only undertaken in specific circumstances, such as when the state does not have jurisdiction or has requested federal involvement.
