The 2022 overhaul of the Electoral Count Act makes it significantly harder for Congress to challenge state electoral votes, enhancing procedural integrity in elections.
The new law clearly defines the Vice President's role as ministerial, preventing unilateral decisions about the validity of electoral votes, addressing issues raised by Trump in 2021.
Raising the threshold for objections to a state's electoral count to one fifth of Congressional members serves to limit frivolous challenges and protect election integrity.
Lawmakers acted decisively to avoid a repeat of January 6, ensuring that the processes surrounding electoral certification are fortified and less vulnerable to manipulation.
