EFFIE Act

This bill, titled the "End Fraudulent Filings that Interfere with Elections Act" or the "EFFIE Act" , proposes to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to address fraudulent activities in federal elections. It establishes a new felony offense for any person seeking federal office, or their employees or agents, who knowingly fraudulently signs materials or documentation required for ballot access. The legislation aims to deter such deceptive practices by imposing severe penalties, including fines up to $250,000 , imprisonment for up to 5 years , or both. This measure is intended to enhance the integrity of the ballot access process for federal elections.
