Cheney looked up, expecting an objection.
They ALL knew he was a fraud.
This was to certify the election.
2008
Objections to the certification of the electoral vote have to be in writing. Cheney received no written objections signed by at least one Senator and at least one Representative, therefore he did not call for objections and the vote to certify Obama’s electors was unanimous.
3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting electoral votes in Congress
“Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.” http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/3/15
