Two Democratic senators and a Democrat-aligned colleague are using the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion as a pretext to change the 1887 Electoral Count Act to essentially squelch challenges to election results.
This is ironic because many Democrats — including two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California — repeatedly challenged the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s presidency throughout his tenure.
In fact, Waters and a handful of other Democrats objected to the certification of Trump’s Electoral College win on the floor of Congress in January 2017.
The proposed bill would do the following:
Clarify that the vice president has no power to reject a state’s electors.
Narrow the grounds for objections to electors or electoral votes.
Raise the thresholds for Congress to consider objections and make it harder to sustain objections.
Ensure that state legislatures cannot appoint electors after Election Day in an effort to overturn their state’s election results.
Provide limited judicial review to ensure that the electors appointed by a state reflect the popular vote results in the state.
Give states additional time (until Dec. 20) to complete legitimate recounts and litigation.https://www.westernjournal.com/democratic-senators-unveil-horrifying-plan-change-electoral-count-act/Leftists will do anything to stay in power.
Anything.
