Bill overview
The Count Every Vote Act of 2020 aims to streamline the process of counting electoral votes after a presidential election. It extends the deadlines for states to determine disputes over electors and for electors to meet and cast their votes, shifting these dates earlier in January. The bill also requires states to deliver electoral certificates using faster methods like overnight delivery or electronic transmission and changes the date for the joint congressional session to count votes. These changes are intended to ensure a more timely and efficient resolution of the electoral process.
