0:00.0 | Michael Popok, legal AF with breaking news. I never thought I'd say breaking news about a change |
0:05.5 | to a law that's been on the books since 1887, but we have a brand new electoral count reform act |
0:14.5 | being passed by this Congress, along with President Joe Biden, and a reform to the presidential |
0:20.9 | transition improvement act that was already on the books. Why is that important? Because it is |
0:25.6 | the Electoral Count Act of 1887 that John Eastman, Peter Navarro, Meadows, and others around |
0:34.5 | Donald Trump and Donald Trump tried to use to exploit, to avoid the peaceful transfer of power |
