Two Democratic senators and a Democrat-aligned colleague are using the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion as a pretext to change the 1887 Electoral Count Act to essentially squelch challenges to election results.
This is ironic because many Democrats — including two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California — repeatedly challenged the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s presidency throughout his tenure.
In fact, Waters and a handful of other Democrats objected to the certification of Trump’s Electoral College win on the floor of Congress in January 2017.
Over the past two decades, Democrats objected to the validity of electoral votes on three separate occasions when a Republican was elected president.
But now that a Democrat has been installed in the White House, the self-proclaimed “party of inclusion” apparently cannot stomach dissent.
Sen. Angus King of Maine — an independent who caucuses with Democrats — unveiled a proposal called the Electoral Count Modernization Act that would update the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
According to a news release Tuesday, King is pushing the legislation in collaboration with Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Dick Durbin of Illinois.
King apparently introduced the bill in reaction to the millions of Trump supporters who believe that voter fraud played a role in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and whose protests led up to the Capitol incursion on the day electoral votes were certified.

The DNC are unamerican trash and scum.
Yep.
Cheating right out in the open and no one does anything about it
Wake me up when there are 60 Senate votes for this bill.
The Act was intended to address something that has never happened again, the fiasco of the Presidential Election of 1876.
Lets see which is the more believable scenario.
Russia stole the election for Trump in 2016 by spreading misinformation on Facebook.
Or
The American establishment stole the 2020 election for Biden using virus hysteria & vote by mail ballots.
The former is laughable the latter actually happened.
Democrat NOT DemocratIC.
Where did I use the word democratic instead democrat in my post?
Am I missing something?
Neither word appears in my post.
"Democrat" is ALSO A LIE because they are VERY FEW Democrats in Congress. These Socialists/Communists/Fascists/Marxists can't even be HONEST about what they call themselves.
RINOs are the traitors within.
I get it, you were posting on the headline of the article.
I’d bet that there are 5-10 GOP senators who will go along with the communists on this...
I bet there are twenty.
You are probably correct...
Easy Chewie.
IOW, every time.
