Since these letters were sent, a combined total of more than 150 cosponsors have been added to these collective bills so voters can know what their Members of Congress are doing to protect our democracy.\r\n\r\nAccording to the <em>Demokratie-Scorecard 2020<\/em>unterst\u00fctzten mehr als 50 Abgeordnete entscheidende Demokratiereformen zu 100 Prozent, und 16 Senatoren erhielten mindestens 90 Prozent, was eine erhebliche Verbesserung gegen\u00fcber den Vorjahren darstellt. <em>Demokratie-Scorecards<\/em>.\r\n\r\nSenator Mitt Romney (R-UT) was the highest scoring Republican on the <em>Demokratie-Scorecard 2020 <\/em>mit zwei Abstimmungen im Zusammenhang mit der Amtsenthebung von Pr\u00e4sident Trump.
