Searchability
I found it rather hard to locate this WP article by search, not knowing the long full name of the Act. Popular media seems to refer to it by shorter names like: Electoral Reform Act, Electoral Reform Act of 2022, Electoral Count Reform Act, or ECRA. Should some of these shorter names be mentioned, to make the article more findable by search? DKEdwards (talk) 06:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is the word "clarifies" quite correct? The original Act seemed to suggest that a VP in that scenario could remand to state legislatures for resolution of any disputes re electors.
Instead, it seems like the 1887 Act was changed to make the VP role purely ministerial. However, that also begs another question, which is why VP signoff would be needed at all if it will henceforth be purely a ministerial function. Anyhow, aside from the recent political Sturm und Drang with Democrats and Republicans posturing, some fascinating historical and constitutional questions were involved.
