The U.S. House passed a bill that would change the way Congress certifies presidential elections with nine Republicans siding with Democrats. The legislation would make clear the role of the vice president in the election process, increase the number of lawmakers to object a state’s vote count, and prevent states from changing their rules after an election was called.

  1. All media is on the side of the beast, ALL AMERICANS HAVE TO IS STOP VOTING, AND STOP FILING TAXES, THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED, IT IS A FAKE, IT IS ALL THEATER.

    ONLY GOD CAN MAKE LAWS.

  2. gotta "fortify" the elections eh?

  3. Oh ya lets say to push the ishues it be like a 2nd degree child abusement and child indangerment has well from marijuana  smoke ! ITS A HATE CRIME AMONG CHILDREN HEALTH !

  4. it is no coincedence that the electoral vote was invented directly after lincoln was assasinated, to reestablish slavery. mconnell, and sadly, klobochar and manchin, supports this electoral mess because it does nothing to prevent riots over vote theft, but allows climate and water destroying oil pipelines to be installed! say NO and remove the pipelines. the way to prevent riots over theft of the vote is to abolish the electoral vote and remove digital vote machines. simple as that. amend the filibuster. pass bill hr1. vote non digitally without voting machines, to secure a valid vote count. the trump gang corrupted further, the always hacked voting machine system. Abolish the evil electoral system, to end slavery and fascism. vote dem!

  5. If the Democrats won the Presedancy fairly none of this would matter they should have no problem winning again in 2024.

  6. 2024 wasn’t legit and we all know it now.

  7. CORRUPT CLEANING UP 💯 2020 LEGAL CHALLENGE TO COLLEGE ELECTORAL OBJECTION IN WRITING WITH A SENATOR STILL NO SOLUTION🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  8. It's going to sway towards the Democrats they're going to keep doing and cheating and doing whatever they want

  9. Are the Democrats want to make sure and get all the dead people that voted

  10. The Democrats' idea of "election reform" is to eliminate transparency and make it more difficult to verify election results, yet some people are still so dense that they consider questioning election results to be some sort of traitorous villainy.
    I'm sorry, but I want elections to be more transparent, and I want to see additional safeguards to guarantee that the candidate who receives the most votes actually wins.

  11. Only way dems can hold control. Thank goodness for the amendments. Mainly the second one.

  12. Don't cheat there won't be any issues

  13. Does it have any provisions about changing election laws just prior to an election if you don’t like the candidate?

  14. We've lost. Our republic has fallen this day

  15. More criminals making laws to protect their criminality

  16. If Biden won fair and square the election doesn't need anything new

  17. ah so the democrats are trying to make it easier to rig elections 🙄…hang these traitors!✌️🇺🇲

  18. Guess it's time to set up the next steal. I wish Tom Brady was a Democrat so no one would vote for them sense everyone hates him and think he's a cheater like them.

  19. So basically, they want complete control over everyone at a state level because they're realizing they have no authority to do it at a federal level. Just wait until they lose the next elections and they start crying voter fraud and rigging just like they did from 2016 to 2020. But it's OK when they do it because they only burn down cities and cause mass murder so whatever I guess 🤷

  20. Certainly wasn't legitimate and apparently got so close that they're scared and want more people to be able to shut it down next time

  21. Make sure the Democratic States that couldn't run the election in their states properly , are taught to do a better job of cheating ,,, that will help to avoid any trouble in the future….😙

  22. "This really old elections law." Let me tell you somthing without actually telling you anything. Not a good sign if only half of them want it.

  23. A Bill that allows Democrats to cheat.

  24. Lol! Lol! Lol! Judgement comes from the Lord! Soon.

  25. This is literally tyranny in order for the Democrats to stay in power, how are you leftist morons so blind to not see that? Your lives are in danger supporting this.

  26. How do we maintain control of the country let’s make it to where no one can do or say anything we don’t like

  27. This won't pass the senate..
    It's dead on arrival.

  28. Nothing but criminals trying to keep complete control and are afraid that the majority of Americans does not want the policies of democrats and know it will be proven come November.

  29. Trump criminal Bush moap jan 6 no more president over

  30. How tell you bass never bass close

  31. I will close my house never never vote no more president over killty moap jan 6

  32. Trump never vote over killty moap jan 6

  33. Never never vote over killty moap jan 6

  34. Who cares? It won't go anywhere in the Senate

  35. did they make it so you have to have a valid government issued ID that any american can acquire for free if they are of the age of 18? or is that still suuuuuuuper racist

  36. You still going with the LIE of January 6th such a useless News Network you are

  37. So, it will prevent Dems being about to pay for rioters?

  38. Why would there be anything positive in the bill that would destroy their illustrious criminal career. I I despise RHINOS

  39. That's good. Democrats need to prevent any challenges to elections. How many times did she say to stop another January 6th? That should be your indicator that this is not something that will benefit the American people

  40. Excellent job Hallie your report on the law changing to protect Americans freedoms from a new Riot at our capital!

  41. What they passed was basically a measure saying a sitting Vice President can't throw the country into chaos by blocking a certified election if the other side wins. Which 1) Since the current Vice President is a Democrat, actually favors Republicans in the next election and 2) Practically every Vice President would want it passed also, since last time an armed mob wanted to hang a Vice President for not doing so basically urged on by the President their boss who was in the election. Its far from contentious makes sense to me.
