Laws from the late 1800s keep popping up to bite us over 150 years later, from state abortion bans that sprang back into effect after Roe was overturned to the Electoral Count Act (ECA) of 1887, a law so poorly worded, convoluted and ambiguous that its exploitation facilitated a coup attempt on January 6, 2021.

Love the 1876 election review! I'm flashing on Civics and "Problems of Democracy" classes from high school. This stuff is hard! Thank you for explaining it so that I can wrap my head around it. Thank you for making me smarter, Jay.
I’m hugging you-sharing this information to clarify eases my anxious heart (and since I live in the path of hurricane Ian along the sw Florida coast, I have enough anxiety for now)! Seriously, thank you!
As for Republicans not caring for Vice President Kamala Harris holding the power to decide in 2024, I don't think those who pushed for Mike Pence to do that same thing ever expected that their extremist regime would ever again NOT be in power. Chilling, really, to think that through and realize how confident they were that their plan to overthrow the government and assume totalitarian control would succeed.

Describing Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz as "unprincipled" is damning with faint criticism.

Thank you once again for an excellent explanation, including the history! No more loopholes to try and steal an election by the GOP.
Thanks for that update good to know they are trying to prevent another January 6 still hoping to see TFDG jailed for the rest of his life

Do you think we will ever abolish the Electoral College, all together?
