Protecting American Voters’ Rights Act

This bill would change a federal civil rights law (42 U.S.C. 1983) that lets people sue officials who violate their constitutional rights. Today that law covers people acting under the authority of a State. The bill would add people acting under any federal election or election enforcement authority. This would allow individuals to file civil lawsuits against federal officials over violations of rights related to voting and elections.
