Punishments Fitting The Crime
- Whoever tries to deprive people of rights decided by this act: max fine of $5,000, max sentence of five years.
- Whoever alters a vote, physically or digitally: max fine of $5,000, max sentence of five years.
- If someone's engaging or about to engage in an action breaking the Voting Rights Act, the AG can commit action on behalf of the United States to force people permitted by this act to vote…well, to vote.
- If an Examiner is on site and someone comes to them within two days of the polls closing on election day saying that they were prevented from voting thanks to anything stated above, and the examiner verifies that's true, then the examiner will tell the AG immediately.
- The AG can then file an application with the District Court to let that person vote and to have their vote be counted. The court has to file this application immediately.
- The district court has jurisdiction over the proceeding, but has to file it without regard to whether the plaintiff has exhausted any other legal channels.
