Parker: "The committee might also choose to recommend legislation to Congress, especially reform of the Electoral Count Act and rules clarifying the legal status of popular votes vis-à-vis state legislatures. Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate the “Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives,” so if Congress passed a law mandating that state legislatures can’t ignore an election once it’s been conducted, they could prevent a lot of havoc in 2024."
The reference to Article I, Section 4 looks like a big miss to me
Neither Senators nor Representatives were targets of the Big Lie and "Stop the Steal" -- the Presidential election was their sole obsession
(The first sentence quoted above is spot-on though)
When the MAGAs lost Georgia I thought Medal of Freedom for Stacey Abrams, right after Alexander Vindman's. Taking Georgia LOL. Musta hurt the Former Guy so much.

Ben, thanks to you, and all the others, for doing a great job filling in for Charlie.
The bad news stories was a bit depressing but you more than made up for it with your good new stories. Appreciate it!

I don't think he cared.
Thank you for this. I am bookmarking it for when I need a reminder!
Really well done Benjamin. Both days but especially the recognition of reality in today's column. Happy New Year.
