Republicans and Democrats in the Senate appear to be in substantive talks to amend the decrepit law that governs counting the Electoral College votes. Some of this is just procedural fixes that everyone agrees needs to happen.
The critical difference - and it is critical - is that the Democratic version of the bill would ban state legislatures from overturning the vote count. That has been the single worst vote suppression tactic embraced by Trumpist state legislators in Red states. The idea that the Georgia legislature could overturn the votes of the citizens of Georgia because Trump asks them to would basically be the end of democracy in America.
Get it done.
