WASHINGTON: Democrats took the pieces Thursday after the collapse of their main election rights law, with some of them moving their focus on a narrower bipartisan effort to improve the Law Donald Trump exploited in its efforts to cancel the election.
Despite their offer to rewrite the US Election Law dramatically failed during the battle of the Senate Floor that was occupied by a high Wednesday night, Democrats stressed that their superiority had made a new effort, forcing the Republic to succumb, even if a little, and involved in bipartisan negotiations.
The new push was focused on the Law of the Election Count, Law 1887 which created a complicated process for the certification of the results of the presidential election by Congress. For more than 100 years, the vulnerability in law is reflection, to Trump who is unrelenting, false claims that deception of voters swallowed the 2020 election fee which peaked in the horde of his supporters invaded the Capitol.
The improvement of gold-plated laws can be the best opportunity of Democrats to overcome what they call existential threats against American democracy from the “big lie” Trump about stolen elections. But with serious talks only starting in the senate and shrinking the time before the semester of the middle election this year, reaching consensus could have proven difficult.
“We know the history is on the side of the voting rights, and we know that forcing leaders to take the attitude will eventually move the ball forward,” said the majority leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer Thursday.
Only a few weeks ago, many Democrats insisted that renewing the election count law was not a substitute for their election legislation. Updating the 1887 law, they showed, would not do anything to fight the encouragement inspired by Trump in 19 states to make it more difficult to choose.
They still hold that position, but after the defeat of their Marquee election bill, they run out of choices. Meanwhile, trump loyalists were in vain for the next election, working to install sympathetic leaders in the local election post and, in some cases, supporting political candidates participating in riots in the US Capitol.
Biden Kebobi this week that updating the election bill might be the best opportunity of the Democrats to pass the electoral law through the 50-50 senate, where many of his agenda stopped.
“I predict you, they will finish something,” Biden told reporters Wednesday.
Any legislation must balance the Democrat’s desire to stop what they see as a GOP plan to make it more difficult for black Americans and other minorities to choose with the opposition who rooted the Republican Party to an increase in the election federal supervision.
“What other things can be put there?” Southern Carolina representative said. Jim Clyburn, Democrat House No. 3 and senior members of the congress black caucus. “I want to deal with more than just counting the sound for the president. I want to make sure we count the sound for everyone. So the nullification of voters as they did in Georgia, I thought it could be handled.”
The Republican Party involved in an effort to update the election count law recognizes that the bill will need a broader focus.
Senator Collins from Maine holds bipartisan talks with the Sens of the Republic. Roger Wicker from Mississippi, Thom Tillis North Carolina and Mitt Romney from Utah, and Sens Democrats. Joe Manchin from West Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire and Kyrsten Cinema from Arizona.
“That’s the thing you need,” said Manchin, who added that a narrower scope was “the first place” Democrats “should have begun.”
Manchin and cinema effectively scored the Marquee Democrat bill on Wednesday, joined the voting party against the rules that would enable the party’s election laws to graduate with a simple majority.
Collins have proposed new protection to conduct polls and electoral workers, some of which received terrible threats to their safety after the 2020 election. He also called for more funds for local elections.
