Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has endorsed changes proposed by a bipartisan group of senators to the Electoral Count Act, the 1887 law that governs how Congress affirms presidential election results and a smooth transition of power.
The Kentucky Republican’s support means the evenly split chamber almost certainly has the ability to pass the proposed modifications that are meant to prevent another Jan. 6, 2021, when pro-Trump rioters temporarily halted the certification process and some GOP lawmakers contested the results from states that voted for President Biden.
“I’ll proudly support the legislation, provided that nothing more than technical changes are made to its current form,” Mr. McConnell said Tuesday.

F-Joe Biden did not win the election, you Chinese loving POS!
Essentially (from what I glean by reading), they'll . . (BOTH PARTIES), cripple the peoples' voice if fraud is suspected ... OR EVEN PROVED.
I don't like this.
McConnell wants to prevent a repeat of Jan.6th? Here’s some tips, stop lying and burning our money, NEVER steal an election again, demand the release of the J6 “prisoners”, investigate Joe and Hunter Biden……the list is too long.
Perfect!
Elections in the future will be stolen and no certification of the process to contest irregularities will be allowed.
NWO motto; Silence the people and control them with whatever thuggery necessary.
Cocaine Mitch, AKA the turtle, is in the same category as John McCain, Linda Graham, Mittens Romney, and Liz Cheney. They are all swamp creatures who do the deep state’s bidding and are in the game for the money and power.
Just doing the bidding of his CCP masters.
Just confirms that Trump’s strategy was perfectly legal in accordance with the Constitution and the law. Now they are changing the law to prevent an encore. GOPe is part of the problem.
This cannot be repeated enough. It needs to be on banners across the country.
so this is proof that POS Pence had the power to do what he refused to do???
What does he say about the J6 prisoners?
Yeah, like this November.
A real Conservative in Kentucky needs to Primary China Mitch
Conservative Senators must get the memo that a vote for McConnell as Republican leader will endanger your career.
Actually, he does care. He’s fully behind it.
Preventing another unarmed protest. The left may not be too happy with the alternative!
