Strong Majority Support Updating The Electoral Count Act

Strong Majority of: Republicans, Democrats, and Independents support Updating the Electoral Count Act (ECA) to Protect the Will of the People.

New Polling released today, shows Bipartisan Support for Updating the ECA, an Outdated 19th Century Law, that has provided the Framework Governing the Casting and Counting of Electoral Votes, for President and Vice-President, including Congress’ Role in the Process.

The Poll Underscores a Serious Concern that a Majority of Voters, share that One Party in Congress could try to Overturn the Results of an Upcoming Presidential Election to put their own Candidate in Power. By a more than 3-to-1 Margin, Voters across Party Lines support Updating the ECA to Protect the Will-of-the-People, and Ensure that Elections are decided by Voters, Not Partisan Politicians in Congress.

The Poll, conducted by GS Strategy Group and ALG Research, also found that nearly Two-Thirds (63%) of Voters, say they would be more likely to Support Updating the ECA, if it was Written and Proposed in a Bipartisan way, including, All Party and Independent, Members of Congress.

62% of Voters, including a Majority of Republicans, believe that Updates to the ECA are necessary, to establish more clearly Defined Rules for Congress, and the Vice-President, to follow when Counting the Electoral College Votes in January, and make it more Difficult for Members of Congress to Reject a State’s Certified Presidential Election Results.

“One of the reasons people say that America is ‘exceptional’ is that we regularly hold national elections run by the states per the Constitution, accept the outcome, and peacefully transfer power based on the results,” said former Congressman Zach Wamp (R-TN), Co-chair of Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus, the Largest Bipartisan Coalition of its kind, ever assembled to Advocate for Solutions to Fix our Broken Political System.

“If the states certify their elections and determine their Electoral College votes in December, the role of Congress on January 6th every four years is very simple. This law is called the Electoral Count Act, and it must be modernized for the 21st century so that what happened January 6, 2021, doesn’t happen again.”

I think its time to take Counting Federal Elections away from the States. A Revised Election Assistance Commission (EAC), should include Certified Election Officials who would Count and Certify Federal Elctions.
