If passed, Sen. Obama’s bill would do the following for ALL federal elections starting in 2008:
Make it a federal crime to communicate false information about the time or place of voting, the voting eligibility of any voter, or the party affiliation or endorsements of any candidate
Allow any person or voter who has been harmed by false statements immediately preceding a federal election to obtain an injunction stopping the deceptive practices
Require the U.S. Attorney General to investigate every claim of deceptive practices, and submit a public report on all claims to Congress
Require the Attorney General to ensure the immediate release of corrective information in affected communities
