Ted Budd and Dan Bishop introduced the Combat Voter Fraud Act. The bill directs the Department of Justice and the Attorney General to create a national strategy to combat and prevent voter fraud in the United States.\r\nThe text of the bill can be found HERE.\r\n  \r\nRep. Budd said in a statement:\r\nThe 2020 election has made clear that our country needs one national strategy to investigate and prevent voter fraud. Under my bill, the Department of Justice will determine best practices for the prevention of common issues like voter intimidation, fraud, ballot systems glitches or sabotage, hacking, or election audits. Nothing is more important than the integrity of our ballots, and my bill takes a first step toward ensuring that our elections are completely fair and accurate.\r\n    \r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \r\n    \r\n      f \r\n      t \r\n      #\r\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://budd.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=979"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.402897061780095, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
