    ELECTORAL COUNT ACT REFORM


  • Congress passes election reform designed to ward off another Jan. 6
    By Miles Parks, NPR.org | December 23, 2022 3:44 PM ET |
    QUOTE FROM ABOVE ARTICLE:
    "The update passed by the Senate would clarify that the vice president's role in the proceedings is purely ceremonial.

    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."

    [NOTE: The Electoral Count Act reform PASSED and was SIGNED INTO LAW by President Biden, as part of the 2022 Omnibus Act, which funded the government for the next fiscal year.]

  • BIG RIPOFF
    "Lofgren said that the Trump campaign was able to use 'these false claims of election fraud to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from supporters who were told their donations were for the legal fight in the courts.' She added that 'the big lie was also a big ripoff.' (PBS Newshour)

    "But as the select committee has demonstrated, the Trump campaign knew these claims of voter fraud were false, yet they continued to barrage small-dollar donors with e-mails encouraging them to donate to something called the Official Election Defense Fund. The select committee discovered no such fund existed.
