A bipartisan group of senators — including nine Republicans — announced legislation Wednesday to refine presidential election rules in response to former President Donald Trump’s attempts to spike swing-state electors ahead of last year’s Capitol riot.

The Electoral Count Reform Act explicitly says that the vice president, who presides over certification of the Electoral College results, “does not have any power to solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate disputes over electors,” according to a fact sheet.

That change would prevent a repeat of Trump’s pressure on Vice President Mike Pence to reject electors from states that narrowly broke for Biden. Pence declined to follow Trump’s instructions, and the then-president slammed him for lacking the “courage” to act as fired-up supporters smashed their way into the Capitol.

The new legislation would put governors in charge of submitting slates of electors, unless otherwise specified by state law, and raise the threshold to object to electors to one-fifth of House members. It also would fast-track legal challenges to electors.

Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Manchin (D-WVa.) were the lead negotiators on the package aimed at deterring another assault on Congress during the vote-counting process.

The Jan. 6, 2021, rampage by a wild mob of Trump supporters forced the House and Senate to delay by several hours certification of the 2020 election as rioters poured onto the Senate floor, vandalized Capitol offices and fought police.

Republican Sens. Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Todd Young of Indiana, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina are among the original cosponsors.

“From the beginning, our bipartisan group has shared a vision of drafting legislation to fix the flaws of the archaic and ambiguous Electoral Count Act of 1887,” the group of senators said in a joint statement.

“Through numerous meetings and debates among our colleagues as well as conversations with a wide variety of election experts and legal scholars, we have developed legislation that establishes clear guidelines for our system of certifying and counting electoral votes for President and Vice President. We urge our colleagues in both parties to support these simple, common-sense reforms.”

If all Democrats support the package, it’s already within one vote of clearing the 60-vote threshold for Senate legislation to proceed.

Three Republicans who voted to convict Trump of inciting the Capitol riot — Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania — are not among the original cosponsors, nor are some Republicans who harshly criticized Trump’s pre-riot conduct, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — potentially hinting at much broader supporter.
