AI Summary
This bill, titled the "No Federal Funds for Ballot Harvesting Act," would amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit the use of federal funds for the administration of federal elections in states that permit the practice of "ballot harvesting." Ballot harvesting refers to the collection and transmission of absentee ballots by individuals other than the voter, which the bill argues creates vulnerabilities in the chain of custody and the possibility of undue influence over voters. The bill would allow the collection and transmission of ballots only by election officials, postal service employees, and certain family members, household members, or caregivers of the voter.
