1800 had no dueling slate of electors. There was no objection when Jefferson counted the Georgia slate. The problem was that it was deficient in form.
In 1877, Congress had to make a deal, the VP did was not able to "throw out" votes. There was a constitutional crisis, the resulting compromise was the electoral count act.
In 1960, Nixon selected the electors without objection.
The 12th amendment does not have any provision that states the VP can discard the electors from any state. To resolve it, Congress enacted the ECA. The ECA will be adopted as a joint resolution come Jan. 6.
I support DJT, but we should stop with the misinformation.
