After the 2020 election, gaps in existing election law became clear when challenges were made on January 6. Since then, Congress has been negotiating how to reform elections, and how to update the Electoral Count Act, the 11887 law that dictates how electoral votes are counted by Congress. Last month, a bipartisan group of senators released a proposal on updating this law, among other reforms.

In this interview, we speak with Kevin Kosar about the specifics of the bipartisan proposal, but also what led to these negotiations and the bills’ political futures. Kevin Kosar is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. To learn more about the work Kevin does, check out his:
