Cheney's 1887 Electoral Act; Adds catastrophic event/extend voting 5 days after elections

House Passes Liz Cheney’s Trojan Horse Elections Bill Enabling Democrat Takeover Of The Ballot Box
The House of Representatives passed legislation on Wednesday to overhaul the 1887 Electoral Count Act and re-write election rules to benefit Democrats in presidential contests.
The bill, proposed by GOP Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from California who is under Cheney on the Jan. 6 Committee, reforms the 135-year-old law to narrow the grounds for objections to presidential electors and open the door to late-day voting.
Cheney’s “Presidential Election Reform Act” became the Democrats’ answer to their failed effort to override state election laws in H.R. 1, which Senate Republicans blocked last summer. The legislation carries some of the same provisions of the doomed election bill at the top of Democrats’ congressional agenda. Just nine Republicans supported the bill, all but one of whom supported President Donald Trump’s second impeachment and are either retiring or have lost their primaries.
New York Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney, who co-chairs the Election Integrity Caucus, condemned the bill as “the latest attempt from House Democrats to stack the democratic process in their favor” and complained that the proposal did not go through the proper legislative process. The text was only released days before the Wednesday vote and received no bipartisan hearing or markup in committee.
“It is nothing more than a partisan messaging bill intended to score cheap political points weeks before an election,” Tenney said in a press release outlining the legislation’s flaws.
“The bill broadly defines a ‘catastrophic event,’ which could be used to extend balloting for up to five days after the polls close in a presidential election,” Tenney said. “It also tramples on the core principle of state sovereignty and directly contradicts the United States Constitution. The legislation also creates broad private rights of action in a backdoor to empower Democrat election lawyers and partisan operatives.”

According to Axios, similar legislation in the upper chamber has already drawn support from the 10 Republicans needed in the split Senate to circumvent a filibuster.

As the press secretary says it’s a once in a lifetime pandemic, but we will have another this year, 2 yrs later.

This needs to be challenged in court as soon as possible, not after the election.

frick that.
It is unacceptable and truly unbelieveable that the United States cannot simply hold Elections on Election Day, and have the results within 24 hours after the polls close. Every other developed nation on earth can do it.

This is to ensure that the Uniparty stays in control in part to keep her dad and Bush's secrets safe.

They claim it's to keep Trump from getting back in office, but now the media is saying DeSantis is even worse than Trump.
They want total control to install a uni-party leader.

I think Republicans have seen the polls and are fearful they might actually be put into power. They will do everything they can to tamp down enthusiasm in their own base.

It is much more vague. If any State suffers a snowstorm even the election can be extended 5 days or more.
Also, if J6 happens again it is an act of terrorism.
I don't see any language that says people can't loot, burn down buildings & Historic Churches and police cars, protesting with a hashtag #Resist #NotMyPresident #OMB

Are the 10 that support it running for re-election?
Posted on 9/22/22 at 9:25 am to cajunangelle
Simple logic:
If H.R. 1 got defeated easily by fillibuster, suddenly Axios (lying piece of crap site) says that 10 GOP reps now want something similar?
Won't happen, it's BS...................

I don't think America is stupid enough to truly vote in Newsome.
There was enough votes to recall him and the dems swept in with money and cheating to save him.
There is an article out today that people are sick of the homeless in Cally. Making Cally America is voting in a living hell.
I pray there isn't enough cheating to get him in. The polls would never match the votes.
