GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California previewed in an op-ed their proposed legislation to make it harder to overturn a certified presidential election in the future by proposing changes to the Electoral Count Act
Both Cheney and Lofgren serve as members on the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill insurrection, which in part is tasked with proposing legislative recommendations that could help prevent an attack on the US Capitol from happening again.
"After the 2020 election, Trump tried to get former Vice President Mike Pence to reject electors from states, which Pence never did. The proposed legislation would also make it harder for lawmakers to raise objections to official electors submitted from states, arguing that Congress should not be a"court of last resort." They argue that objections should require one-third of each chamber to be entertained and a majority of votes to be sustained.
