WASHINGTON — The House passed a bill Wednesday that would make it harder for lawmakers to object to presidential election results. and Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), who both serve on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, introduced the Presidential Election Reform Act this week. “Unfortunately, there was no bipartisan effort to address the significant concerns that I and so many others have with the Electoral Count Act,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has drafted a similar bill called the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act. Instead of a single lawmaker from each chamber, the House bill would require one-third of each chamber to raise an objection while the Senate bill requires only one-fifth.
