Every four years, Congress gathers to count electoral votes and certify a winner of the presidential election. That process is usually uneventful. No longer—on January 6, 2021, supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, seeking to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. There is a law meant to prevent the chaos of that day: the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (the “ECA”).1 This book will examine the ECA and argue that it is badly in need of reform.
