Congress eyes strongest response yet to Jan. 6 attack

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats are voting this week on changes to a 19th century law for certifying presidential elections, their strongest legislative response yet to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

The vote to overhaul the Electoral Count Act, expected Wednesday, comes as a bipartisan group of senators is moving forward with a similar bill. Lawmakers in both parties have said they want to change the arcane law before it is challenged again.

As dumb as he is, trump found many loopholes. He hung onto his business. Never submitted his tax returns and colluded with Russia to win elections.

We need to criminalize shit like that, president or not, or the next trump will take this democracy down.

And clearly this is the objective of the GOP.
 
They're doing it. Running candidates who support Trump's big lie.

The reason the GOP knows they can't win without cheating now is that they have no ideas - except get rid of all gays and minorities. That's why their steadfast in their support of the electoral college system. They know they'd never win again if just a straight majority could select the president.

Their headliner is an ex-president who was impeached twice and organized a violent coup. What else do they have?!

It's a good thing for Republicans they can't experience shame. They've got nothing but shame for what they've put America though over the past 4 years.
