Bills would curtail objections at future Jan. 6 vote counts

[BidenPresident]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of Congress have officially objected to the results in four of the last six presidential elections, a partisan practice that has been legal for over a century but became much more fraught after a violent mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol last year.

In an effort to prevent another Jan. 6, 2021, bills moving through the House and the Senate would make it harder to lodge those objections when Congress counts the electoral votes in a joint session after every presidential election. The move to curtail the objections is part of a larger effort to overhaul the 1800s-era Electoral Count Act and safeguard the integrity of the vote after Trump tried to persuade his Republican allies in Congress to vote against Democrat Joe Biden’s victory and overturn his 2020 defeat.

"The people" never had the power to object to the official counting of Electoral College.

I think this is a good bill being it’s just basically a ceremonial procedure when it reaches this point.

The people should question before the votes are certified. When it reaches the VP it’s just largely a ceremonial process.

"Possibly"????

Oh ffs, give me a fucking break with this shit already.

The election was secure and the only reason anyone thinks it wasn't is because of Donald Trump's big, fat, fucking LOSER mouth.

Hey you fucking asshole, the election results are certified before Congress votes on it...so if there are objections of "possible" (FFS ridiculous) bad results, that shit gets taken care of at the state level, like you assholes want.

You want to have your fucking cake and eat it too.

You want to control the elections, but you also want to have the power to invalidate them at your will.

And you call yourself a patriot while you openly despise democracy and embrace authoritarianism on JPP.

You are fucking proof that Nazis, Oathkeepers, 3%ers, "libertarians", or whatever stupid label you're giving yourself these days can't be reformed.

You say you left the terror groups but you still embrace everything about them here on JPP.

So you didn't really leave it behind, you just left the group behind because of the associations, but you still believe all their bullshit 100%.
