Tell Your Senators: Please Fix the Electoral Count Act Now

The January 6 hearings have portrayed the political, legal, and violent attacks on our democracy.As we saw in 2020, a bipartisan group of senators is working to correct flaws in the Electoral Count Act (ECA) to thwart future legal attacks. This revised act would update, tighten and clarify the ECA of 1887, which guides the casting and counting of electoral votes for the presidency, including the role of Congress and the vice president. The revised act must move forward quickly. Please join with Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice in underscoring for the Senate that the right to vote is fundamental to our democracy, and we need to be confident in our election results. Please fix the Electoral Count Act now!With poor prospects for major legislation after the devastating dereliction of duty earlier in January, the Democracy Action Team has been working on the Electoral Count Act. Yet these public hearings would seem to represent the best chance to apply public pressure, reset the landscape of expectations on voting rights and free elections, and motivate Congress towards action.
