Election Results Accountability Act

This bill sets time limits for how quickly states must count votes and announce results in federal elections. States would need to count at least 90% of ballots within 72 hours after polls close and share those results publicly, and they would have to certify the full, final results within two weeks of the election. There are exceptions for emergencies like major disasters or equipment problems. If a state misses these deadlines, it would lose federal funding for running future elections, but it could get that funding back by submitting a plan to fix the problem and getting approval from the Election Assistance Commission and the Department of Justice.
