John, Jimmy Carter sees the urgency of reforming the electoral count act, and he’s calling for immediate, bipartisan action to pass this legislation.
What makes the Electoral Count Reform Act so important?
✓ Prevents State-level mischief like delivering “Fake Electors”
✓ Clarifies that the Vice President’s role in certifying elections is Solely Ministerial
✓ Raises the threshold for challenging a State’s slate of electors from one Representative and one Senator to 20% of both chambers!
John, Donald Trump’s desperate, illegal attempts to cling to power after his multi-million vote loss has cast the need for this legislation in the starkest possible terms:
There will be another rising GOP Authoritarian who tries to subvert Amercian Democracy– but he (or she!) may not be the bumbling incompetent that Donald Trump was. Strengthening these guardrails is our best protection against a dark, dark future.
