AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Make Elections Great Again Act," proposes significant changes to federal election laws, primarily focusing on enhancing election integrity and altering administration processes. Key provisions include requiring voters to present photo identification to cast a ballot, with exceptions for those with religious objections or who cannot obtain ID, and implementing stricter requirements for voter registration, including proof of citizenship and the last four digits of a Social Security number or a driver's license. The bill also mandates the creation of a single, centralized, computerized statewide voter registration list with unique identifiers for each voter, and requires the preservation of election records. Furthermore, it aims to abolish universal vote-by-mail systems, requiring voters to request mail-in ballots, and mandates that mail-in ballots must be received by the close of polls on election day, with exceptions for overseas and military voters. The bill also prohibits states from using ranked-choice voting in federal general elections and requires mail-in ballot envelopes to have a Postal Service barcode for tracking. Finally, it allows for the use of Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds for post-election audits and requires federal agencies to refrain from engaging in voter registration or mobilization activities.
