Jan. 6 Panel Unveils Election Guardrails To Prevent Future MAGA Election Steal

[berg80]

The House Jan. 6 Committee on Sunday outlined its proposed reforms to the Electoral Count Act (ECA) to stop ex-President Donald Trump or anyone else from trying to overturn an election.

Committee vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) announced in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the panel will officially unveil its proposal this week that would “protect the rule of law and ensure that future efforts to attack the integrity of presidential elections can’t succeed.”

Then Cheney and Lofgren laid out the “four fundamental principles” of the committee’s proposed changes to the ECA.

The first principle strikes right at the heart of Trump’s election steal scheme: A reform that solidifies the vice president’s role in counting states’ electoral votes as purely ministerial, not one that has the power to hijack the process — which Trump, of course, tried to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to do.

One answer to the question, what purpose does the committee serve.

All of America should commend this panel, and all of the hard work they have done, trying to protect election integrity from the scheming of Republicans to usurp the will of the people.

This was never a thing until 2000, when Bush helped engineer a steal by legal means, and then Trump had to resort to violence in his unsuccessful attempt.

Democracy needs safeguards from Republicans.

Democracy needs safeguards from Republicans.

Indeed. From MAGA Repubs.

The committee’s third proposed reform aims to address a situation in which a governor or another state-level official tries to withhold election results from Congress. If the governor or official does so, presidential candidates “should be able to sue in federal court to ensure that Congress receives the state’s lawful certificate.”

That change is a clear response to election-denying nominees for governor and secretary of state, such as Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, who would have the power to meddle in the 2024 elections and beyond if they win.

The great reset.

The great reset.

Finally, the ECA needs to be reformed to “make clear” that state lawmakers can’t retroactively change the rules of an election after the fact in order to change the outcome, Cheney and Lofgren wrote.

“Our proposal is intended to preserve the rule of law for all future presidential elections by ensuring that self-interested politicians (Republicans like Trump) cannot steal from the people the guarantee that our government derives its power from the consent of the governed,” the committee members asserted. “We look forward to working with our colleagues in the House and the Senate toward this goal.”

The Corrupt Democrat Party is against the Right to Vote.
We need better laws to protect the American Citizen's Right to Vote.
The Corrupt Democrat Party is violating everyone's Right to Vote with their mass voter fraud and ballot rigging crimes.
We should ban all ballot drop boxes because the Corrupt Democrat Party uses them to stuff ballots, which violates everyone's Right to Vote.
We should have Voter ID laws with ballots that have serial numbers that can only be used by their assigned Voter because the Corrupt Democrat Party allows people to vote multiple times under aliases, which violates everyone's Right to Vote.
Every voter should show proof of age and citizenship when they vote because the Corrupt Democrat Party violates everyone's Right to Vote when they allow ineligible people to vote.
Every person who registers to vote should show their ID, because the Corrupt Democrat Party violates everyone's Right to Vote when they allow people to register to vote under multiple aliases.
All ballot counting should be done with live internet over the shoulder video of the ballot counters, because the Corrupt Democrat Party violates everyone's Right to Vote when they count ballots behind locked doors.
BTW, Liz Cheney is a bitter loser and Pelosi's favorite Tool.

Here's hoping.

Our democracy is in danger because a profoundly insecure orange con man can't admit defeat.

The Democrat Marxists are at it again. They stole the vote in 2020, now they are trying to float the lie that Republicans are stealing the vote. They are so predictable.
