Today, U.S. Representative Tim Burchett (TN-02) released the following statement about his vote against the Democrats’ election reform legislation, called the Presidential Election Reform Act: 

“This ridiculous bill takes away states’ constitutional right to determine their own election laws and limits members of Congress’ ability to object to electoral college results even though Democrats have done this for years,” said Rep. Burchett. “It’s nothing more than an obvious power-grab attempt right before the midterm elections.”  

The Presidential Election Reform Act was introduced on Sept. 19, 2022 and brought to the floor on Sept. 21, 2022 without being debated and amended in committee.
