This update from The Hill doesn’t sound encouraging. A bipartisan group in the Senate have met for weeks to hash out some needed reforms to the Electoral Count Act and firming up protections for election workers in the wake of the 2020 debacle. Among the areas of broad agreement are restrictions on challenges to electors and a formal recognition of the already-extant ceremonial role played by the Vice President.

Every county in every state gets one electoral vote which goes to the candidate that wins that particular county. That way every county gets a say.
Take nevaDUH(please.JK) Two counties, Clark and Washoe basically provided the entire state to brandon. The other counties? Sit down and shut up. We'll let you know if we need to hear from you.
If states had it...there would not so many LIBERAL STATES
Unconstitutional. Would require a Constitutional amendment..........
They know they almost got caught. They pushed the fraud to the limit in 2020 to get rid of Trump. They know that we know.

Should be the same in Governors races.
Correct
The constitution spells it out, amendment needed to add to that
IMHO the 19th Century act is unconstitutional. Don’t try to fix it. Repeal it.
Well, the democommies don’t seem to care about no steenkin’ constitution.......
Yup.
Guess the idiot republicans never want to win again. In their quest to stop Trump, they will allow failed blue cities and illegal immigrants decide who our leaders will be. If they do that, the push should be on for secession and red state / blue state each having their own governments. If they want to take us to the brink, eliminating the electoral college will do it.
It just Nevada
NY, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and many more
Basically, other than a few northeastern states, where the metro areas throw everything off, the country is RED.
Well, if the majority of the counties went for the conservative, Cook county could have 80 million votes and, meh. Too bad.
I have seen the map. 😊
Exactly.
For two years I was screaming to everyone I know who is connected in Washington to WATCH FOR VOTE FRAUD, and that they they would go all out to defeat Trump.
I even got to people who worked in the white house with Trump...
And they still let it happen.
Shows you how little influence I have... :(
Every year, the dumbest idea of the year arises. I don’t know who will win for 2021, but this one surely is the leader for the 2022 award. I’m sure that there will be plenty of competition.
The States determine the numbers and composition in every county within their state. Usually, the Legislatures and the Governors play roles and State Constitutions may prescribe procedures. Those States who are controlled by one Party, could easily change county boundaries and add and subtract the number of counties before each Federal Presidential election to ensure that their Party wins. The Island of Manhattan could become 20 counties with Brooklyn and the Bronx having ten each. Staten Island would be a single county.
It’s really hard to become a Founder, even with more than 200 years of experience to inform the debate.
Besides requiring a major Constitutional amendment, there is the problem of how many counties a state has. MO has over 100, TX well over 200, GA has a bunch, other states have only few, California being one. And what would stop a state from creating lots of new counties, since counties are a creature of the state.
I think that there are about one hundred counties in Illinois.
>> It also increases the number of lawmakers in the House and Senate that need to support an objection before both chambers must vote on it. Currently, it just takes one member from the House and Senate, the legislation would increase it to one-third of both chambers. <<
Hokay...
>> It also increases the threshold for upholding the objection from a simple majority in both chambers to three-fifths in both chambers. <<
So no party could ever likely possess enough votes to uphold even an objection to the most egregious voter fraud?
And yet how much would anyone like to bet that the very first time the Democrats reach 60 votes with a newly elected Republican, they pull that trigger?
