The Electoral Count Act is a proposed United States federal law that adjusts the procedures set out in the US Constitution for the counting of electoral votes following a presidential election.
The Act was first enacted by Congress in 1887, ten years after the disputed 1876 presidential election, in which several states submitted competing slates of electors and a divided Congress was unable to resolve the deadlock for weeks.
........ Snip........
Currently, a group of Republican and Democrat senators are working together to adjust the act so that Americans can never challenge a disputed or stolen election in the future.
The proposed rules will require 20% of Congress, the House and Senate, to challenge the results from any state. That will make it impossible for weak Republicans to challenge any future stolen elections.
RINOs believe this is a good idea.
CBS News reported:
A bipartisan group of senators working to reform the Electoral Count Act has reached a general agreement and is working on legislative text during this work period, which ends June 24, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The group met on Wednesday night to discuss changes to the law, which governs the way Congress counts and certifies votes from the Electoral College after each presidential election.
We had an excellent meeting last night where we resolved almost all of the issues,” Republican Sen. Susan Collins, of Maine, said Thursday.
Collins said the group has already drafted language that would make clear that the vice president’s role is ministerial in the process of counting Electoral College votes.

Meant ‘they’re’, not their.
Federalism is going to kill states’ rights. And the state governors are just going to let it happen.
Fixing a problem that doesn’t exist. Creating a new problem.
Politicians shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near votes , the counting of votes etc etc
So election fraud is now A-OK. Why not make it 100%, and be done with the issue entirely?
It is time for people to accept the fact that elections are no longer a way to save America. We have a one party system
It is them vs. us.
Think how stupid they are because in the next election the VP will be a Democrat.
But they know 100% of democrats in Congress will vote to block a republican win anyway.
Think about it. The VP didn’t do anything, but these idiots think making it so he can’t do anything, will prevent rioters from being upset in the future.
So they’ll just be upset with Congress.
Susan Collins is such a dupe who thinks having a meeting with democrats and changing everything will actually be an improvement.
How about she meet with a group to end this unjust Jan 6 committee?

In other words, Americans shall be denied any right of redress with regard to elections.
I see no issue with this. If you can’t even get 20% to support the challenge, you certainly wont be able to get more than 50% to overturn.
“So election fraud is now A-OK. Why not make it 100%, and be done with the issue entirely?”
Election fraud has been A-OK for decades. JFK didn’t win the Presidency (Daley’s graveyard and corrupt Texas Dem pols). Republicans convinced Nixon not to challenge the election for the good of the country. He kept his mouth shut and magically wins with the largest Electoral College margin in history (up to that time) a few elections later.
Massive fraud has been built into the system with both parties in control. Voters were never in-charge.
That’s it. You’re right!
I’ve lived in CA for 28 years now and know what it’s like to live in one-party rule. I didn’t even have a GOP choice at all in the primary last week for my congressional representative. It was one Dem, one Green, and a write-in.
Enough said.
“I see no issue with this. If you can’t even get 20% to support the challenge, you certainly won’t be able to get more than 50% to overturn.”
Ha, why is this necessary? Only a small percentage of Republicans have the courage to speak up during the most obvious election fraud in the history of the nation, 2020. I see no hope for the future. Again, fraud has a long history and they kept their mouths shut.

Well guys, Heels Up Harris is going to be the Senate President when they count the electoral votes in Jan. 24. I’m ok with confirming that the electoral ballot authority lies with the state legislatures and with Congress.
If Heels Up thinks she has the authority to accept of reject ballots on her own, it’s going to be bad news for Republicans.
Then you better look again
We’ll, like I’ve said before… it only takes 20% to affect real change.
That ship set sail two centuries ago.
States have zero say in the federal government.
Actually states lost control w the 17th Amendment and 19th amendments.
