Jan. 6 panel members offer long-awaited elections reform bill
The Hill ^ | 09/19/2022 | REBECCA BEITSCH

Posted on 09/19/2022 12:45:24 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), two members of the Jan. 6 House panel, introduced a bill Monday to reform the Electoral College Act, offering a number of provisions to protect elections from interference by state and federal lawmakers.

The Presidential Election Reform Act (PERA) would make clear that the role of the vice president in presiding over the counting of electoral votes is purely “ministerial.”

It also takes aim at potential action from the lawmakers’ colleagues to object to states’ electoral slates, requiring that a third of the members from both chambers must object to the certification, up from just one member for each chamber, while narrowing the grounds under which they can bring such an objection.

They want to ensure a stolen election remains stolen.

By passing this bill, aren’t they, in effect, admitting Trump’s actions weren’t illegal?

The immediate effect is disempowering Kamala Harris’s ability to meddle in the 2024 election.

Oh. So the founders of the Constitution decided to enshrine a ceremony into the Constitution. I don’t think it works that way.

I vaguely remember when the so-called "Hamilton Electors" were a big thing for the Rats...

Meet the 'Hamilton Electors' Hoping for an Electoral College Revolt

Basically, the proposal would make the vp a ceremonial position, and make it nearly impossible to contest an election.

Which shows that pence could have stopped the electorial college vote, and had the election fraud investigated. If the vp couldn't alter the outcome of the electoral college, there would not be any need for the left to make this change.

As mark levin has said on his show, the constitution states what the electoral college should do, but it doesn't state what can't be done. And one of the things that it doesn't state can't be done, is contest the election or the electors.

They are admitting it was legal to object and send the electors back.

"a number of provisions to protect elections election fraud from interference by state and federal lawmakers."

Fixed for accuracy.

They want to do away with the Electoral College, as if that
was the root of the problems we faced in 2020.
