Electoral College

Despite its substantial-sounding name, the Electoral College isn’t a permanent body: It’s more of a process. For decades, a majority of Americans have wanted it to be changed.

Former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the last election put a spotlight on what are essentially ministerial steps between Election Day and Inauguration Day. Here are the key dates ahead.

It’s very unlikely — but theoretically possible — that the presidential election ends with an Electoral College tie. If it did come to pass, here's how the next president would be determined.

The return of 14 Republican presidential electors linked to efforts to reverse Donald Trump’s 2020 loss raises questions about what they will do if Trump loses again in their states.

The bipartisan legislation would update the certification process for presidential elections, which former President Donald Trump and his allies tried to exploit after the 2020 election.

The bill would amend the Electoral Count Act, which legal experts have called vague and confusing. The legislation is similar to a somewhat narrower bill from a bipartisan group of senators.

There have been five presidents who won the electoral vote but not the popular vote, including George W. Bush and Donald Trump.

A new bill proposes critical updates to the Electoral Count Act of 1887, but is it enough to prevent another Jan. 6th?

The 1887 law governs the process of counting Electoral College votes and came under fresh scrutiny following attempts to invalidate the presidential election results on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Electoral Count Act is at the center of Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Now, the Senate is considering reforming the 136-year-old law.
