Episode Notes

Axios’ Sophia Cai and Andrew Solender reported Wednesday night that a bipartisan group of eight senators met on Zoom to discuss reforming the Electoral Count Act, the obscure law that Trump tried to use to overturn the election. 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the White House want nothing to do with it. Democratic leaders have been focused on forcing through the party’s broader voting bill, which would lower barriers to voting, reform campaign finance rules and seek to curb gerrymandering.
