Report: Omnibus Bill to Include Electoral Count Act that Was Crafted in Response to January 6
The omnibus spending bill will include the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act, a bill that was drafted in the wake of the January 6 Capitol Riots to amend the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and change the process for members of Congress to object to the certification of a presidential election, the Washington Post reported on Monday.
The bill would also ensure that the vice president’s role during the certification process is strictly ceremonial.
The Electoral Count Reform Act is supported by Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
“Our bipartisan bill is backed by election law experts and organizations across the ideological spectrum and a broad cross section of Senators from both parties,” Collins and Manchin said in a joint statement in September. “We will keep working to increase support for our legislation that would correct the flaws in this archaic and ambiguous law.
