Attorneys under U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi are reviewing legal pathways to bring criminal charges against state and local election officials who fail to meet federal standards for election security, according to individuals familiar with the discussions.

The effort, which is still in an exploratory phase, centers around whether mismanagement or negligence in securing vote tabulation systems could amount to a prosecutable offense under existing federal law.

The initiative, described as unprecedented, follows internal guidance to Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys directing them to evaluate if election officials who do not properly secure voting machines or fail to prevent unauthorized access to electronic systems could be held legally accountable.
