Lofgren & Cheney Statement on Senate Electoral Count Act Reform

Washhington, D.C. – U.S. Representatives Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) issued the following statement today after Senate negotiators proposed reforms to the Electoral Count Act of 1887:

“As Greg Jacob, the Vice President’s General Counsel testified, President Trump had no legal basis to pressure the Vice President to reject or refuse to count electoral votes. The Select Committee has been considering legislative recommendations based on its findings concerning the January 6 attack and will share those soon. These will include a bipartisan approach to the Electoral Count Act.”
