SB 5

SB 5 prohibits state and local election officials from accepting federal funds for elections, voter registration, or voter assistance unless the legislature specifically approves each expenditure — and makes violations a felony. Cutting off federal election funding could force counties to run elections with fewer resources, leading to longer lines, fewer polling places, and reduced voter outreach that disproportionately affects working people. When it's harder to vote, working families lose their voice in the political process.
