Electoral Count Act - Expert Opinion Briefing
Join the UUSJ Democracy Action Team to learn more about the Electoral Count Act, in support of the July Write Here! Write Now! letter-writing campaign and UU advocacy. UUSJ will hear from Cerin Lindgrensavage, Counsel at Protect Democracy.
Cerin works towards reforms preventing the abuse of executive power and restoring Congress as an effective check and balance on executive authority. Previously she was a Trial Attorney at the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, Senior Legislative Assistant for Senator Barbara Boxer, and clerked for Senior Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She is a graduate of Yale University and the New York University School of Law.
At UUSJ, we want a restoration of voting rights. We want free and fair elections. Yet, our legislators must deliver the most basic protections for our democracy, and that starts with the Electoral Count Act. Passing it now, before their mandate under the 117th Congress expires, before the lame-duck session, and prior to the 118th when new players, issues, and dynamics will take hold.
Without acting now on the Electoral Count Act, we leave the door open to another coup attempt. As January 6 hearing witness and conservative former federal judge J. Michael Luttig states [with respect to these “unholy wars” –] “the time has come for us to decide whether we allow this war over democracy to be prosecuted to its catastrophic end or whether we ourselves demand the immediate suspension of this war and insist on peace instead.” (Day 3 transcript, by NPR.)
