Imagine being shut down by /r/violinist.
It raises the threshold to challenge presidential electors from the states to 20% of the House and Senate, rather than the current one lawmaker from each chamber.

This is a welcome change.  Never made sense that one yokel in the House could find one Senator and lodge an objection >

House always has these fringe ppl. When certifying 2016 election, several democratic reps tried to use the opportunity to have a sound bite but they did not have any senate co-sponsors. That is normal. In 2020, you had all these asshat senators willing to go along and hence this change is a rebuke for them. Getting 20 crazy senators is a high mark - hopefully. >

Your comment won’t age well.
The least stupid Republican president since the 80s is arguably Reagan who had Alzheimer’s in office . >

Lawyers and politicians that attempt to subvert laws for their own political agendas should face prison time and a stripping of their ability to practice law and hold future public office. >


Eighteen Republican senators disagreed with him when they voted with Democrats to approve the bill Thursday. Another nine Republicans voted for the legislation when it passed the House Friday afternoon. >

A lot of laws need to be strengthened bc of Trump. >

This is good.  
Now to keep the GOP in the next two terms from overturning it. >

"We can invalidate an election just by thinking about it, really." >

It's slowly dawned on the GOP that they forcibly argued for months that the office now held by Kamala Harris gets to decide who wins the next election. >

A small step, but much more needs to be done to prevent fascists from even being considered for elected office. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)


WASHINGTON - The 117th Congress in its final days revised the antiquated 1887 Electoral Count Act that caused chaos when the current slate of lawmakers were sworn in nearly two years ago.
A deeper look: Electoral Count Act at heart of Trump's effort to overturn election part of spending bill.
"As our Report describes, Donald J. Trump, John Eastman, and others corruptly attempted to violate the Electoral Count Act of 1887 in an effort to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election," the committee said in its final report, referring to one of Trump's attorneys who spearheaded part of the effort.
