AI Summary

This bill, titled the "No Federal Funds for Ballot Harvesting Act," proposes to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prevent federal money from being used for election administration in states that permit "ballot harvesting." Ballot harvesting refers to the practice where individuals other than the voter themselves collect and submit absentee ballots, which Congress finds creates vulnerabilities in ballot security and could lead to undue influence over voters. The bill would prohibit federal funds from being used in any state that does not have a law preventing individuals from knowingly collecting and transmitting a mail-in ballot for a federal election, with exceptions for election officials, postal workers, common carriers, and specific individuals like family members, household members, or caregivers of the voter.
