Bit by bit, week by week, we are watching the destruction of our country.
The deep state is losing the war against Russia, but its winning the war against the American people.
How the heck does the bill overhaul “federal election law by revising the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to try to prevent another Jan. 6.”
Importantly, the measure also would raise the bar for objecting to a state's slate of electors. As it stands now, it takes just one member of the House and one senator to challenge a state's electors and send both chambers into a potentially days-long debate period, even without legitimate concerns.
The new legislation would raise the threshold for an objection to 20% of the members of each chamber."
The Senate passes election reform designed to head off another Jan. 6 Yeah it's NPR, but I just wanted a summary of what changed and that was the first article that came up.
I don't see this as major changes that affect our democracy. I never bought that Pence had the power to refuse to count certified results from the states.
Congress however does, and changing it from 1 member of each state to 20% of each changer, does raise the bar. But not so much that either party wouldn't be able to mount a challenge.
The real issue is how to ensure that there are controls over the elections, that those laws and controls are followed, that prosecutions occur when they are not, and that states don't certify questionable elections. THAT is what needs to be solved to protect our democracy.
So in my opinion, the election changes do nothing to harm our democracy, but also do nothing to protect it. They do not address what needs to be addressed.
Disgusting, stupid, evil, un-American, destructive, ignorant and without people approval.
Who were the 9 Republicans (besides Cheney and Kinzinger)?
I’m so sick and tired of these Washington D.C. malcontents that have total disregard for the taxpayer. Both parties are guilty of wasting OUR dollars for their personal benefit. In D.C. money is simply a number on a piece of paper. The federal debt is of no concern.
That’s the final straw. The Constitution is dead.
The Republican Party is fully owned by Democrats.
Rewrites U.S. election law, selected democrats to draw name out of hat.
The only actions voters can take on a Congre$$ that continues to pass these spending bills withoutnreading nnthem is to vote them out of office and maybe a tax payer revolt. Not that I am saying don’t pay taxes. Just delay paying them in advance.

RIGHT IN TIME FOR THE LAST FLIGHT OUT OF DC...
JUST IN CASE MISSED IT:
The package contains a major boost to military spending and nearly $45 billion in assistance to Ukraine. It overhauls federal election law by revising the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to try to prevent another Jan. 6. The bill funds a swath of domestic programs as well, averting a shutdown and keeping the government funded through next fall.
I’m sorry Mr. Franklin, the Republic is doomed. We couldn’t keep it.
