Wisconsin GOP Rep. Bryan Steil, chairman of the House Administration Committee, on Thursday announced a comprehensive package of election reforms titled the Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act, which if signed into law would require baseline requirements be put in place for state election administration. 

"Americans should be confident their elections are being run with integrity – including commonsense voter ID requirements, clean voter rolls, and citizenship verification," said Steil, whose committee has oversight authority of federal elections. "These reforms will improve voter confidence, bolster election integrity, and make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat."

Steil intends to formally introduce the legislation Friday.

Below are the key points:

• Require photo identification to vote
• Require states to verify citizenship of individuals when registering to vote
• Implement stronger routine voter list maintenance requirements in states
• Require mail-in ballots to be received by the close of polls on election day
• Require states to use auditable paper ballots
• Ban ballot harvesting
• Ban ranked choice voting
• Ban universal vote by mail

"I’ve spent the last decade registering voters across the country and empowering Americans to vote," Scott Presler, founder of Early Vote Action, said about the bill. "Without fair elections, we aren’t a free nation."
