This is the type of thing that would get caught up in the courts for years and years. Not saying that is bad, just saying there is no clear answer because it hasn't been done before.
Nothing, but that’d be a good thing. The founders never intended on the POTUS being elected by the general public. They wanted him elected by a sample of Americans plucked from across the fields and countrysides of the nation. That pretty quickly failed as State Legislatures balked and decided to hold “elections” and gave control of nominations to the parties... and that’s how we got stuck with a two-party system.
Well, the founders left a fallback Plan B which is one of those fallbacks that’s probably better than the Plan A.... The States vote. The VP can throw out envelopes, but he can’t add votes to push someone over 270. All he can do is push it to congress.
Well... a State-by-State vote is good. Its better than we’re doing now. Also better than trusting a “random” group of Americans who’d easily be corrupted and targeted and god knows what else.
I've been reading about it for weeks now and listening to podcasts, watching videos, etc. Still have no idea how this works.
Dan Bongino had the most thorough explanation on his 12/30/20 show "What's Really Going Down on Jan 6th at 1pm?" (Ep 1424)
The episode heavily relies on this Epoch Times piece
He rejects the envelopes unopened, like any mail-in ballot from someone who’s not registered/ didn’t sign the envelope / mailed it late / etc.
Playing devil’s advocate, what’s to stop him from rejecting the ballots from any and every blue state?
I’d be fine with this, by the way. I just want to know if he legally can.

Does the Supreme Court have any say in this?
Pretty much nothing, but that’d just mean no one gets 270. Then the states would still get the to vote.

This could be explained in 1-2 minutes. He takes 20 minutes.
He is long winded and repeats himself a lot. Gotta fill the time slot I suppose.
