Senate Democrats unveil proposal to reform Electoral Count Act

Senate Democrats unveil proposal to reform Electoral Count Act
By Jordain Carney - 02/01/22 09:11 AM EST

A group of Senate Democrats on Tuesday unveiled legislation that would reform an 1887 election law that has been in the spotlight in the wake of the 2020 election.

The proposal — from Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), who caucuses with Democrats, Rules Committee Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) — would clarify that the vice president's role overseeing the formal counting of the Electoral College vote is ceremonial.

The proposal comes after then-President Trump tried to get his vice president, Mike Pence, to throw out results from battleground states that he lost in the 2020 election.

The bipartisan group members say they are fairly early in their talks, but they've divided their work into five sub-groups: reforming the 1887 Electoral Count Act; protecting election workers; voting practices and rights; the election assistance commission; and presidential transitions.

   This protects election and voter fraud.

The process required of Pence was to return the questionable certifications to the respective state legislatures (who have constitutionally guranteed supremacy over electoral certifications) for review.  No one asked, or expected, Pence to throw out vote totals..... just set them aside until the states could confirm the actual, fraud-free tallies.
