So Georgia’s mail-in ballot openers were supposed to open envelopes that weren’t signed, didn’t come from a registered voter, etc?

It says “open all the certificates.”

Pence only has to open certificates. If he determines that a piece of mail does not contain a valid certificate then he doesn’t have to open it. What if I mail him a piece of registered USPS mail with a note that says “Electoral Certificate enclosed” on the front? Does he have to open that too?

He can look at the return address label and determine that it’s from a sender who doesn’t have authority...
