If passed, will this be a good law or bad law? Why?

Question

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

Answer 1

If it would make politics more honest, then its a good thing. Right now most politicians are so dishonest, and media is so biased, Americans have no idea what to believe. If this bill could keep elections and politicians honest, then I say its great.

Answer 2

I am a democrat, and I think that is a bad idea. just look at how one can just claim, they were decieved when they actually wasn't. if it passes there needs to be some limitations on it. But atleast he is trying to get the americans involved, because the one in office now does not listen to the american people... if it came up with legit limitations then it "might" not be a bad idea. but the way its put, no its not a good idea.

Answer 3

Typical Demo. Always trying to push the government into everyone lives. Not counting the paperwork overload that the AG will have. When someone loses a run all they got to do is say Someone told this person to vote over there.
