IT: 🏛️ House passes the Presidential Election Reform Act, and... Should the U.S. stop negotiating with Iran over its human rights violations?

Welcome to Thursday, September 22nd, pumpkins and gourds...

The House passed the Presidential Election Reform Act, a set of reforms to make it more difficult to subvert presidential elections.

The bill passed 229-203, with nine Republicans voting in favor of the electoral changes.

The House's Presidential Election Reform Act is broadly similar to the Senate's Electoral Count Reform Act 2022, though it includes some differences, such as only requiring a fifth of House members to sign onto an objection, rather than a third.
