Congress has reformed the certification process for presidential elections following January 6, 2021, aiming to mitigate risks in future disputes, including the 2028 election. The Electoral Count Reform Act clarifies the vice president's role as ministerial and raises the threshold for congressional objections to electoral votes. While the 2024 certification process has been peaceful, concerns persist about potential challenges in 2028 and beyond. Experts warn that political polarization and partisan actions could again test the system's resilience, particularly as the presidency hinges on increasingly narrow margins in swing states.
