“The House isn’t the only congressional chamber taking steps this week to counteract former President Trump, as legislation to overhaul how Congress counts electoral votes is one step closer to becoming law,” The Hill reports.
“Less than a day after a House panel investigating Jan. 6, 2021, issued four criminal referrals for the former president, the Senate unveiled a $1.7 trillion omnibus government funding package that includes the Electoral Count Reform Act, marking a second blow in as many days against Trump.”
Noah Berlatsky: “It has taken two painful years, but legislators are finally addressing some of the key structural weaknesses in the US electoral system that former President Donald Trump exploited during his coup attempt.”
