Just Passed by Losers and Quitters

New York City NY

Description

The House just passed a sweeping bill to re-write the 1887 Electoral Count Act in a way that, if passed by the Senate, could rig elections to benefit Democrats. Background: The bill, called the 'Presidential Reform Act', was proposed by anti-Trump RINO, Rep. Liz Cheney, who was just defeated in her Wyoming primary election and will be out of Congress come January. And it's mainly a response to former President Trump's attempt to challenge the results of the 2020 election. The bill amounts to a federal (DICTATORSHIP) takeover of state's rights to conduct THEIR elections: It will make it harder for a candidate to challenge the results of an election. It creates a provision for "catastrophic events" to force states to allow voting up to five days AFTER, YES AFTER an election. If a state detects something wrong with its election, this law makes it HARDER for governors to investigate, by allowing political campaigns to sue the state and force them to submit their election results. It defines the Vice President's role in the counting of electors as purely ceremonial. It makes it more difficult to challenge an election: Right now it only takes one House member and one Senator to open up a debate over a state's electors. This bill would require 1/3 of the House members to open debate. Losers and quitters: The bill passed 229-203, with nine Republicans signing on. But every one of them is either retiring or has lost their primary elections. So it's literally a group of LOSERS AND QUITTERS. NY Rep. Claudia Tenney remarked: “It is nothing more than a partisan messaging bill intended to score cheap political points weeks before an election." What happens next? The Senate reportedly already has its own reform bill that is very similar to this. And rumor is that there are 10 Republicans willing to go along with it, which would give Democrats the 60 votes they need.
