Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday threw his support behind legislation to reform the Electoral Count Act, saying it would prevent the 'chaos' that occurred in 2020 when Congress met Jan. 6 to count the electoral votes. McConnell made his statement on the Senate floor as the at the Senate Rules Committee, prepared to consider legislation that has already drawn bipartisan support, with the potential to come up in a 'lame duck' session after the elections. The House last week advanced its own version, coauthored by GOP Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Zoe Lofgren (R-Calif.), who are both members of the House select committee probing the events

These proposed changes prove the electoral count act of 1877 as written, did ALLOW Pence to legally kick the votes back to the states for review and then if changed take the house vote based on outcome to determine the president. They want to take the power away from the states. McConnell must Go Now. Trump must dena d his resignation if we win both houses!

It has been wrong to keep such an obvious crook like Mitch (and other proven treacherous RINOS) in office for decades. We are now paying a terrible price. None of this is surprising. Mitch has a long history of this sort of treachery and he has always gotten away with it. I pray KY will “Cheney” him and out the good of country over any “bacon” this evil man brings to the state.

Everything they are doing is little by little taking away any chance of Republicans ever being in control again.

This right here is why we have not been allowed to conquer death. Its the only way to get rid of some people who hang on like herpes. Hopefully it will be around soon for an awful lot of those people.

Seems to be an awful lot of vindictive and cranky old men in Congress, accompanied by a lot of tiny-minded snarling old women, all revealing their low character and lack of nobility of mind.

Mitch and the deep state realized that 2020 was a close one, but they managed to get the result they wanted. That is why they are eager to prevent anything like that from ever happening again. You cannot question the actions of the deep state. Just shut up and let them do their thing and no one gets hurt. Those silly Americans who take elections seriously and expect them to be conducted fairly are being shut out. What the deep state steals, stays stolen. No questions allowed.

Why would any Republican support a Democrat bill?

Every R voting for the one in the senate is someone who either is quitting or lost their primary.

No Presidential election has ever before been seriously chalenged. Now, remember that the state legislatures are responsible for Presidential elections in their state. They, not the courts or anyone else, have a Constitutional duty to make it right. (Anyone disagree?) If they fail by allowing certification of electors via widespread fraud, who's responsible for that? In effect, before this new law, and after, that remains in effect. But we know state legislatures would never shirk their duty...

Xi told Elaine and she told Addison what to do. And we expect this gutless, marble mouthed, corrupt coward to preside over the Senate when Republicans take both houses back in a few weeks. We are so screwed. FMM, FJB Let's Go Brandon.
