Federal law prohibits voter intimidation. Under well-established federal law, intimidating, threatening, or coercing voters or attempting or conspiring to do so is unlawful.

Intimidation laws also protect third parties,  including volunteers and voter assistants. Intimidation of anyone for “urging or aiding any person to vote or attempt to vote” is illegal. That means that individuals who help register voters, participate in get-out-the-vote efforts, or provide language assistance may not be subject to threats and other intimidating conduct.

Intimidating conduct can take many forms. For example, courts have found the following conduct to constitute unlawful intimidation: physical threats; efforts to closely follow, monitor, or surveil voters at polling places; and improper threats of potential criminal prosecution, arrest, or other legal action.

During the 2020 election campaign for President of the United States in March 2020,  Tara Reade, a former staffer in Biden's U.S. Senate office, alleged that Joe Biden, the former U.S. vice president and Democratic nominee in the 2020 presidential election sexually assaulted her in 1993 in a Capitol Hill office building when she was a staff assistant in his office. Biden denied Reade's allegations.

Reade worked for Biden as a Congressional aide in 1992 and 1993, and later attended Antioch University and Seattle University School of Law. She works now as a domestic-violence advocate. She has said she suffered emotional and violent physical abuse from both her father and her ex-husband, which in turn motivated her to work on behalf of victims.[1]
