Democrats in Congress seek to prevent another Jan. 6 riot, protect Electoral College certification

Keeping in mind the memories of the violence and chaos that engulfed Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, and the worsening political fractures that followed, the committee's Democrats have researched and discussed plans to ensure security is tight, and they've begun efforts to debunk emerging conspiracy theories about undocumented migrants voting in federal elections.

This story should be about ALL members of Congress seeking to prevent another January 6th insurrection, but obviously those members from the GQP don't care.

Some R gov does not send electors, e.g. Georgia
Can't reach 270 electoral college votes
26 State votes wins election
SCOTUS approves
