WASHINGTON — A bipartisan duo on the Jan. 6 committee is rolling out legislation aimed at preventing future attempts to overturn elections, and House leaders are eyeing a vote as early as this week.
In an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal on Sunday evening, Cheney and Lofgren said the bill would include four components.
Last week, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., notified members that the full House might consider the bill this week.
For instance, the Senate bill would require one-fifth of each chamber to force a vote to object to electors.
But in bringing the Cheney-Lofgren bill to the floor this week, House Democratic leaders are sending a clear signal about where their caucus stands on the issue.
