he just doesn't have the legal authority to do what every moron wants him to do. and even if he tried to do it anyway, you can bet your ass dems would take it to scotus and it'd get overturned within a day. pence can't just call the state elections fraudulent because as far as everyone in government is concerned, no judge anywhere has declared that to be the case. since when the fuck did the VP get legal authority to declare fraud or criminality? i wasn't aware that was in hist job description.
imo it's fucking disgusting that everyone wants to lay this at his feet and act like it's all up to him to do something he can't even legally do, or else he's a traitor. all because people are so desperate to see trump get a 2nd term they are fantasizing about any retarded scenario being spread around on facebook and twitter by basically liars. pence was probably one of the few good picks trump actually made.
Not sure if you are a troll or not but you are missing the point. No body knows for sure how the courts would rule if Pence just threw out the electors because of fraud , pending litigation or changes in the law by everybody but the legislators of the states. People are hoping Pence will step up and play this how the democrats did the election. They made unconstitutional changes that have held up so far because courts don't want to rule on any of the merits. Pence challenging would force them to do so. There is also very little risk to Pence if he does this. At worst it gets overturned. At best it works and he remains vice president. If the democrats were in this situation they wouldn't hesitate to try this method.
I have a bad, sickening feeling about the "Pence" angle...
It's not the way "Washington" runs.... so it won't happen I don't think...
No matter how fucking ridiculous and illogical it is to us.
