Legislation to protect against election interference was reintroduced to the senate. The legislation is specifically designed to protect election workers from harassments during voting periods. 

If passed, the Protecting Election Administration from Interference Act would:

• Expand protections for election administrators by extending existing prohibitions on intimidating or threatening voters to include election officials engaged in the counting of ballots, canvassing and certifying election results. It is currently a federal crime to interfere with the voting process, and this would make clear that the criminal penalty extends to the counting and certifying process as well.
• Strengthen protections for federal election records and election infrastructure to stop election officials or others from endangering the preservation and security of cast ballots.
• Provide judicial review for election records by allowing the Justice Department and candidates to bring lawsuits to ensure compliance with election record requirements.
