AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Vote Without Fear Act," aims to prohibit the unauthorized possession of firearms at Federal election sites, which are defined as buildings where federal, state, or local employees are administering a polling place or processing/counting ballots for a federal election. Under this act, it would be illegal for an individual to knowingly possess a firearm in, or within 100 yards of an entrance to, a Federal election site, unless they are a law enforcement officer or authorized private security guard on duty, the firearm is kept securely within a vehicle, or it is possessed in a place of residence, business, or private property. Violating this prohibition could result in fines and up to one year in prison. Furthermore, possessing a firearm at a Federal election site with the intent to use it in a crime would carry a penalty of fines and up to five years in prison, and any homicide committed during such a violation would be punished under existing murder and manslaughter laws.
