I've been seeing threads on here that Mike pence doesn't have to count contested state electoral votes. Is that actually true. Here's an article that says that senators and house members have to have an issue with the votes, then they vote on it, and I guess this happens quite frequently, but it never goes anywhere. Mike pence counting votes is really just a decorum, formality thing. this of course brings up the discussion on whether or not Mike pence would ever do such a thing and if he's loyal. This is how you get to house delegations. this article makes it seem like that's not true though. Pence can't just not count the votes. What's true? Yes I know the article is from the times, so it could be a lie. Idk how to archive stuff either, so spare me the scolding for giving them traffic.
