For the first time in more than a century, Congress is debating reforming the Electoral Count Act that governs how electoral votes are counted in each presidential election. But what sort of reforms are being (or should be) considered? And what issues is the debate failing to cover?

On Thursday, Apr. 28, at 12:00 p.m. ET, Lawfare senior editor Scott R. Anderson—who recently wrote a related article for Politico—will sit down to answer your questions on these issues and more, along with two authors of another recent Lawfare piece on the topic: Thomas Berry, a research fellow in the Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies and managing editor of the Cato Supreme Court Review; and Genevieve Nadeau, counsel at Protect Democracy.
