"I don't think it was ever the intention that you could create a scenario where the vice president basically can decide whether or not we're still a democracy," says @RepColinAllred. "And that's basically what we came down to in this last certification." https://t.co/YzZYyBmdsu — PolitiTweet.org

Members of Congress are zeroing in on the 1887 Electoral Count Act, viewing it as poorly written, overly ambiguous and ripe for bad actors to exploit to steal an election — after Trump allies seized on it to try and keep him in office despite his defeat. https://t.co/YzZYyBmdsu — PolitiTweet.org

“We found out, surprisingly, how poorly written it is, how ambiguous many of its provisions are, how simply things could be triggered without merit.” @RepAdamSchiff calls the ECA “a point of great vulnerability in terms of our democracy” in need of change. https://t.co/YzZYyBmdsu — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: One year after Jan. 6, Congress considers new laws to protect against election coups The goal is to clarify the role for Capitol Hill + VP and to safeguard legitimate electoral votes. Crafting this is proving complicated. They want it done in 2022. https://t.co/YzZYyBmdsu — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenTDennis @KDbyProxy @james_roe I see the case but Ds were denied a one word tweak on the registry date for immigration which also had $$ implications. Either way, Sanders ran on a huge agenda much of which lacks a clear case in reconciliation! — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin doesn’t say how he’d vote when Schumer calls up rules changes. “I’m not going to say yes or no, because I don’t know votes are going to come to the floor.” He cites Jeff Merkley’s work on this, says they’re reviewing “every part of history” to find a “pathway forward.” — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Speaking to pool reporters, Joe Manchin mentions several filibuster rule changes he’d support: • A talking filibuster (unclear if 60 needed to end debate and vote) • Killing cloture on motion to begin (but not end) debate • Flipping to 3/5ths *voting* (instead of 60 flat) — PolitiTweet.org

In canceling his 1/6 presser, Trump blames the 1/6 select committee and segments of the media; he says he’ll discuss the same topics at his 1/15 Arizona rally. Much of his statement is ad hominem and conspiracy theories (hence not screenshotting). — PolitiTweet.org

Correct. In 2017, McConnell and Senate Republicans triggered the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote rule for Supreme Court nominees. Four years prior, Democrats invoked it to abolish the filibuster for lower court and executive branch nominees. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell — who last year declared Trump "practically and morally responsible" for the Jan. 6 attack — doesn't say if it's appropriate for the former president to give a speech on January 6. "It'll be interesting to see what he has to say," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell objects to Democrats’ plans to change filibuster rules to pass democracy/election legislation. “Make no mistake about it, this is genuine radicalism,” he says. “They want to turn the Senate into the House. They want to make it easy to fundamentally change the country.” https://t.co/p9EHFdt2Re — PolitiTweet.org
