Agree. Here is what they CLAIM they are wanting to re-legislate— Verbatim the Act of 1887:
What they want to change is: US Code Title 3 Chapter 1 § 15 - Counting electoral votes in Congress:
“Congress shall be in session on the sixth day of January succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives at the hour of 1 o’clock in the afternoon on that day, and the President of the Senate shall be their presiding officer. Two tellers shall be previously appointed on the part of the Senate and two on the part of the House of Representatives, to whom shall be handed, as they are opened by the President of the Senate, all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes, which certificates and papers shall be opened, presented, and acted upon in the alphabetical order of the States, beginning with the letter A; and said tellers, having then read the same in the presence and hearing of the two Houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall appear from the said certificates; and the votes having been ascertained and counted according to the rules in this subchapter provided, the result of the same shall be delivered to the President of the Senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vice President of the United States, and, together with a list of the votes, be entered on the Journals of the two Houses. Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.”
The Act wascreated by REPUBLICANS to prevent another Southern Democrat Tilden (who had enough electoral votes to just win, throwing the election to the House) . A situation which required a “deal” to be worked out, giving the Presidency to Rutherford Hayes. The deal was- the Southern Bloc of Electors for Tilden would place their votes for Hayes, under the signed agreement for Hayes to remove ALL occupying Union Army troops occupying Southern States all that time since the Civil War.
These occupying forces provided military tribunal cover for carpetbaggers who stole titled property against US and State laws, took over lands, homes under the Reconstruction created largely by Secretary Stanton (and for which President Johnson- Lincoln’s VP was IMPEACHED for stopping the most thieving actions of the Reconstruction boards, Freedmen’s bureaus and Military Governors. Haye’s people agreed to Tilden’s forces and they gave over the election to Hayes, and return the whole country to much needed peace. The reaction to the “deal” is what caused a “Counting” Act to be passed. So, naturally the demonrats want to change it or remove it when MAGA republicans wanted to follow it— and challenge the electors in the STOLEN states. Pence did not perform his duty under the ACT.
