Summary

This bill amends the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prohibit intimidation of election officials and workers, and creates a legal presumption that displaying a firearm near election-related conduct is intimidating. It adds a new prohibition against intimidating anyone for administering federal elections, including vote counting, tabulation, canvassing, and certification. It also creates a presumption in enforcement lawsuits that a person who displays a visible firearm, imitation firearm, or antique firearm while interacting with or observing someone voting, aiding voting, or administering elections has violated the intimidation prohibitions, unless they prove otherwise. State and local law enforcement officers acting within their official duties are exempt from this presumption, but National Guard members are not. Courts may grant relief including temporary limits on carrying firearms. The bill defines 'antique firearm,' 'firearm,' and 'imitation firearm' using existing federal law.
