(Washington Post) Adam Bozzi, a spokesman for End Citizens United, a liberal group that has spent millions to advance the Democratic voting bills, called the electoral-count chatter “a classic McConnell stall tactic” that should not be taken at face value. “Mitch McConnell knows that Democrats have momentum and are getting ready to pass bills that will actually protect everyone’s freedom to vote and have their votes counted. That’s why, he’s now, at the last minute, saying he might be open to negotiating on a much more narrow and less meaningful bill,” he said. “The Electoral Count Act is important but does nothing to address voter restrictions or most of the efforts to sabotage elections.”
