About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · July 11, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
The FAIR Elections Act of 2024 addresses two separate concerns about election integrity. First, it prohibits people from knowingly distributing false AI-generated election content with the intent to prevent voting or intimidate election officials, though it exempts legitimate news organizations that clearly label such content as false. The Attorney General can pursue civil lawsuits against violators to stop the distribution and obtain injunctions. Second, the bill restricts states from removing voters from registration rolls or acting on voter eligibility challenges unless they rely on specific, government-verified data sources approved by the Attorney General, such as information containing full names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or dates of birth that are updated monthly and obtained legally. This change amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to prevent voter purges based on unverified private databases. The bill contains a severability clause ensuring that if any provision is found invalid, the rest of the law remains in effect.
