AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill creates a federal crime of election interference by the President, Vice President, White House staff, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, the Director of National Intelligence, and managers in federal departments and agencies. Violators, including those who use government property, staff, or funds for election interference, could be fined, imprisoned up to 5 years, or both. The bill bars the President from deploying the Armed Forces or using federal law enforcement in a state where doing so would likely disrupt or influence an election, with exceptions for enforcing the Voting Rights Act and elections about secession or rebellion. It lets states sue the United States over such deployments, with the President carrying the burden of proof, and over violations of certain state rights in the Constitution, with faster court appeals in both cases.
