On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to alter the 1887 Electoral Count Act. The so called "Presidential Election Reform Act" revises rules pertaining to the congressional certification of presidential elections, which some contend will benefit Democrats. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who lost her primary race in August and leaves office on January 3, along with Democrat Rep. Zoe Lofgren, both of whom are on the January 6 Committee.

Extending elections

Among the changes this bill makes to the 135-year-old law is an extension of time for a presidential election.

In the event of a "catastrophic event" that has "prevented a substantial portion of the State's electorate from casting a ballot on such day, or caused a substantial portion of ballots already cast to be destroyed or rendered unreadable by such event," a candidate for president who appears on the ballot of the State can ask for an extension.

One of the criteria that must be met is that "the ability of that candidate to win the election with respect to one or more presidential electors" must be shown to be potentially affected.

If the criteria are met, time for voting in the election can be extended, but for "not later than 5 days after" Election Day.

A "catastrophic event" may include a variety of events or mishaps, from a major glitch in a state's voting machine software to rolling blackouts.

Tenney stated that not only is the bill's definition of "catastrophic event" broad, but as a law it would trample "on the core principle of state sovereignty and directly contradicts the United States Constitution."

We’re talking about Republitards here, folks. There were enough Republitards voting “Aye” to ratify the Kigali Amendments (quicker phase-out of HFCs), with a final tally of 71 yes votes, including all 50 Dumb-O-Crats. The “aye” votes included Little Marco Boobio of Florida.

Ceaucescu tried to get to the airport. He didn’t quite make it.

That’s not constitutional. They can’t make voting laws from Congress for all the states, it’s up to the legislatures in each state to change voting laws. I smell a lawsuit.

Good riddance

Tyrants in the past did not have jet planes to whisk them away to prepared havens.

Yes, but it was also a lot easier to hide back then.

"catastrophic event"

Such as a landslide on election night for the guy who's supposed to lose.

If this law had been in effect for the 2020 election, at the end of five extra days Biden would have had 300 million votes.

More stealing from the coup leaders

... which allows voting 5 days after elections,

Therefore, since NO REPORTING of election results is allowed until AFTER the polls CLOSE, it'll be five days before the country knows ANYTHING about 'results'.

For a woman who screams about how very Constitutional she and her daddy are, she sure knows how to rearrange the Constitutional deck chairs.

TOTAL INSANITY and CORRUPTION!!

[Pinggolf17]

No surprise. Dems and Rinos (like my in-laws) do NOT want Trump or DeSantis to be President and will do anything to remain in power.

[gabaghoul]

You can bet on a “catastrophic event” happening on/near election day. Shameless
