President Trump has issued a scathing statement in reaction to the proposed Electoral Count Act:
The act seeks to make it much harder for lawmakers and elected representatives to challenge election results and the establishment narrative.
As I have written before, and as President Trump points out, why attempt to change the law by turning the Vice President’s role in certifying election results into a purely ministerial role?
I thought the Vice President had absolutely no authority to decertify a fraudulent and rigged election?
This is what we were told by leftists over and over again in 2020—we were called every name in the book for asserting that Mike Pence could and should refuse to certify the results.
Conservatives railed against the proposed law:
The so-called Electoral Count Act is unconstitutional, period. Move on. It's dead on arrival. Grow a set, republicans, and stop allowing the left to walk all over you. Thanks

According to Newsmax:
Trump further alluded to the release of Elon Musk’s “Twitter files,” claiming that voter fraud in 2020 was “far greater than anyone thought possible,” with the Federal Bureau of Investigation “changing the results of the Election by millions and millions of votes.”
“In other words, [conservative attorney] John Eastman and others were correct in stating that the Vice President of the United States had the right to do what should have been done,” Trump continued, proclaiming that the “whole thing is one big Scam!”
2. It's also that Congress, in a new trick, is attaching dozens of pieces of stand-alone legislation to this–retirement changes; public lands management; healthcare policy; cosmetics regulation; electoral count act changes; horseracing rules.

Bannon: As I’ve said, for the President, these are massive policy decisions — the southern border, amnesty issue, debt ceiling, the woke defense act, electoral count act and on top of it, this massive [Omnibus] spending bill. You MUST, you HAVE TO get engaged. pic.twitter.com/GWQVJ2zJmM

The Epoch Times had this to report about the Electoral Count Act:
The bill further specifies that the role of the vice president in counting electoral votes is to be only ceremonial, and raises the threshold for congressional debate on objections to a state’s results to one-fifth of the House and one-fifth of the Senate.
Under the current law, only one House member and one Senate member need to raise an objection to force Congress to consider a challenge.
