I hope Kamala Harris is there tomorrow, and interrupts VP Pence as he is throwing out fraud, and he just gives her a smug look and says “I’m speaking.”
Also, to the people on Twitter (not wasting my time on there) saying that the law says the VP counts the votes, and that’s it, they are absolutely correct. If I’m in charge of counting someone’s push-ups, I am not going to count bad pushups. If I’m in charge of counting scoops of ice cream, I’m not going to count frozen yogurt. It’s simple people, fraudulent votes are not votes! Pence absolutely has this authority.
From my understanding, the issue with Jefferson was with him counting what appeared to be an illegitimate electoral vote submission from Georgia (ironic, I know) which gave him the Presidency, not that he discarded electoral votes.
With Nixon, the governor signed stating Nixon won, but a full count showed Kennedy won. Both sets of electoral votes were delivered to Washington as part of the electoral process. Nixon chose to use the "Kennedy" votes because they were the "accurate" results of the election, not the one the HI governor submitted.
Not trying to muddy the waters, but this current situation is different than the ones you mentioned, although the more recent Nixon situation is probably the better example of the two. These examples do demonstrate that the VP does have the legal authority to selectively choose which electoral votes to count.
How come Sleepy Biden in 2016 let let trump win tho if VP reject powers. (after downvotes recieved, clarifying that I am merely curious as to why other VP dont use superpowers )
That letter was more than likely a threat called in by some crazy that they were going to do something after the funeral. That's why they all received when the funeral was over, and they were walking the casket out. My opinion, but that's what it looks like.
Oh God...OH GOD.....IM GONNA...AH AHHH AHHH...
DeBoOoOoOnK!

I know he's got the authority. I just can't shake the image of him and Mrs. Pence getting the letter at the GHWB funeral.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Our tyrants are the worst so prepare accordingly
I keep hearing about that letter and have no idea what you guys are talking about.

I would like to know about the letter also. Can you explain what you are talking about?
VP Pence:
You have no power here!
She'll re-enact Kayne taking the award from Swift
"Senator, I have the floor."
This.
