House committee calls for changes to Trump-cited electoral act

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The House Administration Committee — another key player in the building drive to reform the Electoral Count Act — will call for at least four changes to the century-old legislation in a report being released as early as this week, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Calls to update the act, which dates to 1887 and was the vehicle by which former President Trump hoped to reverse his 2020 election loss, have been a rare area of bipartisan interest in both chambers.

What we're watching: The committee, chaired by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), will issue a 40-page report containing three sections: a history of the Electoral Count Act, a synopsis of the problems and a review of proposed reforms.

Key proposed reforms will include:

Raising the threshold for an objection to certifying a state's election results from the tandem of one senator and one House member to a higher number.

1. What good will that do? It's still a partisan act of defiance to challenge an election

Doesn't matter if you have one or 50, and if the Republicans have one they DO have 50. Democrats on the other hand won't get 5.

Honestly, we are rule of law moderates fighting the impending revolution with common sense and good ideas.

We are so screwed.
