- Medicare bulk purchasing PASSED - electoral college reform PASSED - statutory legalization of gay marriage PASSED - restart of the U.S. microchip industry PASSED If this is where we end up at the end of 2022, this matches up against any modern President's first 2 years. — PolitiTweet.org

What if two years ago, I told you that by the end of Biden's first two years: - 10 million new jobs - 3.6% unemployment - 86% drop in COVID death rate - biggest ever infrastructure bill PASSED - first gun safety bill in 30 yrs PASSED (wait, just getting started...keep reading) — PolitiTweet.org

The clarification of the VP role and the change to require 1/5 of members to object to electors are important, but the headline reform is really the streamlined, expedited court process for candidates to contest fraudulent election certifications. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

To be clear, the Electoral Count Reform Act cannot completely prevent a stolen election if a state legislature, the federal courts, and Congress all align to overturn the will of the voters and count fraudulent electors. This bill just makes the barriers to this much higher. — PolitiTweet.org

President Saied has repeatedly said he’s “committed to democracy”, but every unilateral step he's taken since he seized power has moved Tunisia further away from democracy while the economy crumbles. The world needs to pay attention. https://t.co/d2H8ScWNeM — PolitiTweet.org

I had clear bottom lines on what had to be part of the Electoral Count Reform Act in order for me to put my name on the bill. It had to meaningfully constrain bad actors at BOTH the federal and state level who are trying to steal elections. The bill we introduced does that. — PolitiTweet.org

6/ This bill isn't a comprehensive attempt to reform our elections. This bill just aims to make sure that presidential elections can't be stolen through a manipulation of the electoral college process. We have much more to do to secure elections and make sure everyone can vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

5/ Finally, this bill makes clear the Vice President's role is just ceremonial. Trump's hail mary play - the VP blocking certification - is no longer even a remote possibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

4/ The bill also removes an ambiguous provision in the 1887 law that Trump argued allows state legislatures to appoint their own electors if they judged there to be fraud in the election. Now, states won't be able to change the rules of how electors are chosen after the election. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

3/ Next, this bill makes it harder for members of Congress to object to the certified results submitted by a state. Right now, it only takes one Senator or one House member with a conspiracy theory to force a vote. The new threshold is 20% of House/Senate members. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

2/ First, this bill would make sure that every state correctly certifies election results. How? By creating an expedited new court process to stop fraud if a state government attempts to ignore the will of the voters by sending more than one set of results, or none at all. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 NEWS: I'm proud to be part of bipartisan group of 16 Senators that just introduced a bill to rewrite the 1887 Electoral Count Act to prevent attempts to steal the presidency with fraudulent elector slates. 1/ This is important. Here's what the bill does: — PolitiTweet.org

In which a candidate for the United States Senate lies that he was once an FBI agent and then explains how he once came close to murdering a guy with a gun because of voices in his head. Most years, somebody like this would be a fringe candidate who the parties would shun. — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see you, Michelle. I’m watching the Conservative Party election carefully to make sure the next PM places a priority on preserving the Good Friday Agreement. Too often PM Johnson put politics ahead of Northern Ireland peace. — PolitiTweet.org
