  • This January 6, 2025, contrasts starkly with the events of January 6, 2021, as Donald Trump will be certified the election winner by Congress instead of inciting unrest.
  • Most election officials report a decrease in harassment, with surveys indicating rising public trust in election results.
  • The new Electoral Count Reform Act (ECRA) raises the threshold for objections to results, now requiring one-fifth support from each chamber of Congress.
  • Vice President Kamala Harris will have a clarified role, limited to strictly ministerial duties, underscoring no power to overturn results.
  • Increased security measures have been implemented, as the counting of electoral votes is now designated a National Special Security Event, ensuring a safer environment.
