House GOP leadership announced that it is formally whipping Republican members to vote against a bipartisan bill that seeks to reform the counting of presidential electoral votes in order to blunt challenges to the results of a White House race.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise participates in the House Republican Conference news conference in the Capitol, Sept. 14, 2022.House GOP leadership said Tuesday that it is formally whipping Republican members to vote against a bipartisan billin order to blunt challenges to the results of a White House race.

"In their continued fixation to inject the Federal government into elections, this legislation runs counter to reforms necessary to strengthen the integrity of our elections," Scalise's office said in guidance explaining why leadership wants Republicans to vote "no." Among other things, the proposed legislation affirms that the vice president's role in overseeing the Electoral College count after each election is solely ceremonial -- a reform in recognition of the intense pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence was under on Jan. 6, 2021, to reject slates of electors for victor Joe Biden.

Similar legislation was proposed in the Senate after bipartisan talks that included Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va, and Susan Collins, R-Maine.

You mean vote against it so they can cheat.

Of course they do. VoteBlueForSoManyReasons If you want progress.

Remember when this guy was almost killed by a Democrat incited by Democrat media?

The truth is when one party picks popular things and the other party picks unpopular things you’re naturally going to be at a disadvantage,the only reason they have survived is advantages of the electoral college. If they didn’t have that they would be forced to change their ways

If that's not fascism then what you call it?

No one should be counting on those degenerates for anything.

The guy from Louisiana says what?

REPUBLICANS. =. OBSTRUCTION. If you want progress give Democrats a super majority in November 22. And let’s get stuff done for the people not the arrogant rich & famous. Now is the time for change.

So much for election integrity no matter what the GOP says they want.

Maga Republicans are such losers. They can't win without, putting in their own Secretary of State, or denying mail in ballot boxes widespread or with election reform or without crooked POLL watchers. They R sneaky and KNOW damn well that Popular vote will NEVER AGREE WITH THEM👎

Discouraging a constitutional allowance is unAmerican. Democrats are the ones tearing down our democratic republic.

GOP = fascists

There is no way Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Democrats can win in 2022 or 2024 unless POTUS and Vice POTUS go to the border and build the wall and SHUT DOWN THE INVASION except for legal ports of entry where immigrants are vetted.

Republican politicians want to cheat in our elections! It's as simple as that. Vote them out in November!

That’s about as shocking as Scalise attending a Klan rally and Jim Jordan paying to watch male college athletes get molested

Of course they will. They’re at a point they know they can’t win elections without complete cheating.

Democrat proposals always have pork in it!

Appalling.

Republicans can't win if they can't cheat.

WRONG headline . Try Republicans are planning to DESTROY DEMOCRACY by......Help us out here and pretend that you like the United States of America.

Of course they do. The completely morally bankrupt GOP is against a fair election process because it doesn't work in their self-interest.

Pathetic GOP

Republicans are plotting another coup attempt.

Is this like Devo ( just whip it whip it good) ?

These House Republicans would never certify the electoral win of a Democratic President, no matter what.

Image power. If I worked at the largest medical forensic institute in Los Angeles & social media like Twitter allowed me to post photos of hundreds of dead bodies of young people, killed by overdoses of fentanyl, & they went viral, this immigration crisis would begin to resolve.

Fascism like the kind the GOP wants is planned and not accidental

No surprise there.

Shocker

GOP AGs push Visa, Mastercard, AmEx not to track gun salesA group of Republican attorneys general are pushing the major payment networks — Visa, Mastercard and American Express — to drop their plans to start tracking sales at gun stores, arguing the plans could infringe on consumer privacy and push legal gun sales out of the mainstream financial network. The letter comes more than a week after the payment networks said they would adopt the International Organization for Standardization's new merchant code for sales at gun stores. The merchant code would categorize sales at gun stores not unlike how payment networks categorize sales at airlines, restaurants, and department stores.
