They still need a legislative majority to sustain the objections. And nothing can overrule that (through legal means) I should say: including this law! Congress can’t create a law that restrains a future congress! It would still take a majority to do so however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now need over 100 doofuses to do it, and as noted, you always needed a majority to do something about the challenges. 8 minutes ago, 5timechamp said: “good” I suppose, but like all laws im sure theres a blind spot where they will say “screw” it and overrule it with whatever nonsense they feel like playing… it is the basis by which the Supreme Court has been re-interpreting the law There will always be people looking to find holes to poke at. That is how we got to the issues on January 6th with the pressure campaign against Pence. Some law nerd combed through the previous law and figured out that there were some vague bits that could be interpreted in such a way to allow some real shenanigans. The updated law, from my reading of the proposed language, is much tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine what we could do with that money going towards enriching the lives and health of our citizens. Oh well. Anyway, this is a good baby step, but personally I'd prefer the complete removal of the electoral college. Just go by popular vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
