House Passes Federal Election Integrity Act and Presidential Transition Act

BNA reports here($) on the House's passage of FEIA (H.R. 512), which would prohibit state chief election officials from serving in a leadership role in federal campaigns. The bill required -- and received -- a two-thirds vote because it was passed under suspension of the rules, but faces an uncertain fate the in Senate. The same story reports on the House's passage of the Pre-Election Presidential Transition Act (S. 3196, already approved by the Senate), authorizing GSA to provide transition resources to major-party nominees before the general election.
