The U.S. House of Representatives approved bipartisan legislation that aims to thwart future efforts to overturn presidential election results by rejecting frivolous challenges when Congress tallies electoral votes.
WASHINGTON, D. C. - The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved bipartisan legislation that aims to thwart future efforts to overturn presidential election results by rejecting frivolous challenges when Congress tallies electoral votes and establishing that its role in the process is purely ministerial.
The legislation passed in a 229 to 203 vote, with support from all the legislative body’s Democrats and nine Republicans, including Rocky River’s Anthony Gonzalez, who dropped his re-election bid after voting to impeach former President Donald Trump over his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. It faces an uncertain future in the U.S. Senate, where a different bipartisan proposal is under consideration.
