Relating to vote harvesting; creating a civil penalty.

SB 2950 creates a civil penalty for improper ballot handling ("vote harvesting") in Texas elections. It allows candidates harmed by such activity to sue for damages, including $25,000 per affected vote, plus campaign costs and attorney fees. The bill directly affects candidates who lose elections due to ballot handling by others, regardless of whether the winning candidate knew about the improper activity. Key provisions establish liability for those committing vote harvesting offenses and define specific recoverable costs without criminal penalties.
