“Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said that the bipartisan working group talking about changes to the Electoral Count Act is also considering a broad range of elections reforms,” Politico reports.
“The Maine Republican told reporters the group is looking at raising the bar for challenging a state’s electoral count, beyond the current requirements of one member of the House and one member of the Senate. But the lawmakers are considering updates to the Election Assistance Commission, an agency that provides guidance and grants to state and local election officials, as well as expanding the grant use for purposes such as training and voting machines.”
“In addition, Collins said the group is examining suggestions from Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) for how to protect election officials from harassment.”
