; and (2) by inserting after the item relating to section 303 the following: Sec. 304. Mandatory provision of identification for certain voters who vote by mail. . 126. Confirming access for Congressional election observers (a) Short title This section may be cited as the Confirmation of Congressional Observer Access Act of 2023 or the COCOA Act of 2023 . (b) Findings relating to Congressional election observers Congress finds the following: (1) The Constitution delegates to each of House of the Congress the authority to “be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members”. (2) While, in general, Congress shall respect the determination of State authorities with respect to the election of members to each House, each House of Congress serves as the final arbiter over any contest to the seating of any putative Member-elect or Senator-elect. (3) These election contest procedures are contained in the precedents of each House of Congress. Further, for the House of Representatives the procedures exist under the Federal Contested Elections Act. (4) In the post-Civil War modern era, more than 100 election contests have been filed with the House of Representatives. (5) For decades, Congress has appointed and sent out official congressional observers to watch the administration of congressional elections in the States and territories. (6) These observers serve to permit Congress to develop its own factual record in preparation for eventual contests and for other reasons. (7) This section and the amendments made by this section do not establish any new authorities or procedures but are provided simply to permit a convenient statutory reference for existing Congressional authority and activity. (c) Confirming requirement that States provide access Title III of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 ( 52 U.S.C. 21081 et seq. ), as amended by section 125(a), is amended— (1) by redesignating sections 305 and 306 as sections 306 and 307
