Representative Liz Cheney, a Republican from Wyoming, urges reform to the Electoral Count Act, citing "Trump’s refusal to abide by the rulings of the courts." Representative Cheney recently lost her election in Wyoming, partially due to her outspokenness in standing against Trump and the January 6th insurrection.

CHENEY: “If your aim is to prevent future efforts to steal elections, I would respectfully suggest that conservatives should support this bill. If instead your aim is to leave open the door for elections to be stolen in the future you might decide not to support this or any other bill to address the Electoral Count Act. January 6th, contrary to what my colleague from Illinois just said, was not “democracy in action” and our oath of office is to support and defend the Constitution which provides the method by which we elect our president. Legal challenges are not improper. But Donald Trump's refusal to abide by the ruling of the courts certainly was.”
