in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Every state must get at least $5,000,000 total from the two election-funding programs (or $1,000,000 for four territories). The Administrator tops up any state that falls short, funded by cutting other states' amounts proportionally.

(a) In general. On top of any other payments under this subchapter, the Administrator must make an extra payment to any state that received money under section 20901 or 20902 of this title, if the combined total paid to that state under those two sections is less than $5,000,000. The extra payment makes up the difference between what the state actually got and $5,000,000. For Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the guaranteed minimum is $1,000,000 instead of $5,000,000.

(b) Pro rata reductions. The Administrator must make proportional cuts to the amounts described in sections 20901(d) and 20902(c) of this title, as needed, to cover the cost of these guaranteed minimum payments under subsection (a).

(a) In general

In addition to any other payments made under this subchapter, the Administrator shall make a payment to each State to which a payment is made under either section 20901 or 20902 of this title and with respect to which the aggregate amount paid under such sections is less than $5,000,000 in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate amount paid to the State under sections 20901 and 20902 of this title and $5,000,000. In the case of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the United States Virgin Islands, the previous sentence shall be applied as if each reference to “$5,000,000” were a reference to “$1,000,000”.

(b) Pro rata reductions

The Administrator shall make such pro rata reductions to the amounts described in sections 20901(d) and 20902(c) of this title as are necessary to comply with the requirements of subsection (a).
