I trust Mike Pence to the ends of the Earth. But he simply does not have the power that some people insist he has.

Our community is being played by a lot of people for clicks, follows, etc. And I'll grant that some of them genuinely believe what they are saying, but it's all bullshit.

There is only one potential path to victory at this point. GA, WI, AZ, PA, MI state legislatures, in whichever combination equals 37 or more electoral votes, vote to send Trump electors to Congress and transmit their own certifications to that effect.

Then there would be a real battle in Congress and maybe in the Supreme Court. Biden still probably wins under the "Safe Harbor" provision of federal law. However, I believe that law is unconstitutional and therefore hold out some small hope that the Supreme Court would actually do its job.

Regardless, Pence's role is ministerial. He has no power to affect the outcome.
