"It's worth discussing," the Kentucky Republican announced.
Lawmakers in both parties are eyeing legislation that would change the ease with which lawmakers can oppose presidential election results after last year's riot at the U.S Capitol on Jan. 6, the day both the House and Senate met to approve President Joe Biden's victory under the Electoral Count Act.
Eight Republican senators and 139 GOP House lawmakers objected to Biden's victory in many states, slowing the certification process significantly. On the same day, rioters interrupted the long process by storming the Capitol after violently pushing past police and security barriers. They sent lawmakers running for safety and left the Capitol in chaos for hours.

The law leaves open questions regarding the part of the Vice President, who manages the electoral count. Former President Donald Trump urged then-Vice President Mike Pence to contest Biden's victory, although Pence did not follow through with Trump's proposal.

This was more or less the message Pence sent to Trump's allies back in January 2021 when Justice Department lawyers representing him asked a federal judge to toss out a lawsuit filed against him by a Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert. The lawsuit claimed that Pence alone has the constitutional authority to determine which electors' votes to count. In other words, Gohmert wanted Pence to disregard the Electoral College and choose new Trump-friendly electors.

Reforming the act is likely to pick up momentum as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
McConnell and Republicans unanimously oppose the current action by Senate Democrats to pass a different bill that would overhaul elections and clawback GOP state voter integrity laws.

Democrats are mulling a vote to eliminate the long-standing filibuster to circumvent GOP opposition to the bill, which they announced will increase access to the polls and prevent red states from imposing laws they say will make it harder for people to vote.
