Lawmakers believe that their approval of the electoral count is far more likely to go smoothly this time around, despite former President Donald Trump 's celebration of the rioters who disrupted the certification of his loss four years ago .

A bipartisan 2022 law significantly narrowed members’ abilities to challenge presidential election results.

Previously, only one senator and House member could join forces to object to any stateâs presidential results.

If Trump loses, his supporters in swing states and Congress could try to cast doubt on Harrisâ win by amplifying claims of potential voting irregularities.

The new electoral count law means Congress would only vote on objections that got the support of 20 senators and 87 House members.

If Harris loses what looks like a neck-and-neck election, however, elected Democrats are less likely to cry voter fraud.
