Bill overview
This bill, the PROTECT Electoral College Act, aims to review the use of federal election security grants in the 2020 presidential election and establish stricter requirements for future grants. It temporarily suspends election security grants, effective until July 2022, and mandates a Government Accountability Office (GAO) study of the 2020 election. Moving forward, states receiving these grants must certify compliance with specific election procedures, including limitations on unsolicited mail-in ballots and third-party ballot collection, as outlined in state statutes. The bill also prohibits the use of election assistance funds for procedures not explicitly authorized by law.
