  2. #MaricopaCounty Superior Court Judge Sam J. Myers sided w/ #Republicans & found that prosecutors failed to provide the grand jury w/the text of an 1887 federal #law that is central to the Republicans’ defense. The #law, known as the #ElectoralCountAct, spells out how presidential electoral votes are to be cast & counted.

  3. “I believe that what can be achieved on #Jan6 is not simply to keep Biden below 270 electoral votes,” #Chesebro wrote in the… #memo. “It seems feasible that the vote count can be conducted so that at no point will #Trump be behind in the electoral vote count unless & until Biden can obtain a favorable decision from the #SupremeCourt upholding the #ElectoralCountAct as constitutional, or otherwise recognizing the power of Congress (& not the president of the Senate) to count the votes.”

  4. There's something very unsettling about #Romney's defense of the Electoral Count Act. He rebukes #Trump countering that he wouldn't want #KamalaHarris to pick the next prez, would he? It's like #Romney is teasing outTrump's #Racism & #Misogyny. Why do you have to exploit a #BlackWoman to make your point, sir? #ElectoralCountAct @thehill #VP

  5. @harrylitman Avacado if they're going to be able to get it done before years end. 😂 #electoralcountact

  6. I've seen that the #omnibus spending bill includes #ElectoralCountAct language (yay!), a lot more defense spending (sigh), and some other various bits and pieces... but how about the #DebtLimit, does it do anything about that? Is this a full budget or just a stopgap? When will it next be up for renewal?

  7. #Ukraine Aid and #ElectoralCountAct expected to make it into the last congressional spending bill with Democrats in charge, averting a gov't shutdown.

    Before Republicans take over the House, and dysfunction, disinformation & debasing institutions become the norm again :(

  8. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer said Tuesday that he expects a year-end #omnibus spending package to include the #ElectoralCountAct, which clarifies the vice president’s role in certifying a presidential election as ministerial, and more funding for #Ukraine.
