LINK Electoral act reform picks up growing bipartisan support - Axios
An increasingly broad and powerful array of lawmakers is coalescing around the idea of changing how Congress tallies Electoral College votes — as MLK Day comes and goes on Monday without broader voting rights reforms.

NYT ran a story on this POST-election vote-COUNTING reform, which has some GOP support and should have wide Dem support. CNN and MSNBC have been ignoring it.
The Biden PRE-election voting reform, supported by Dem progressives, may be doomed thanks to Manchin’s and Sinema’s refusing to end the filibuster.
Note how these two bills differ.
