Pass the Electoral Count Act to protect our elections from the far right!

Trump knew his supporters were armed when he urged them to “fight like hell” and march on the Capitol, Cassidy Hutchinson alleged in her damning testimony at last week’s January 6th hearings. It’s clearer than ever: Trump and his cronies engineered a violent attempt to overturn President Biden’s rightful victory and they nearly pulled it off.

Unless Congress takes action to protect our democracy and our voting rights now, the far right is all but certain to try to pull off another coup in the future. We need new laws governing the certification of elections — now.
