Per constitutional scholar Robert Barnes, Pence refused to play the ‘Pence card’ by simply denying he had the card.
Given latest evidence of voter fraud the States wanted Pence to send their votes back for recertification since they weren’t allowed to do so until that day. Pence Refused.
Pence could defer to Ted Cruz’s suggestion to have 10 day electoral commission as was precedent in 1876. Pence retracted into his shell and helped the steal happened and endorsed the steal socially.
With everything, and I do mean everything, on the line, Pence looked after the wishes of the Deep State, as he had done throughout his time as VP, and before, actually.
I do believe Dr. McGreevey’s assertions, and the internet registration, of a competing campaign website in 2016 named “RyanPence2020”, and that, per Dr. McGreevey, Pence felt robbed - he thought he should be president, not Trump. I think he was groomed by the deep state for the role. No one expected Trump.
So for me, Pence’s Jan 2020 cowardice was yet one more to add to his collection. I DO remember he was curiously silent when the Deep State was trying to impeach Trump for the Ukrainian call, when all Pence had to do was state that he had personal extensive phone calls with the Ukrainian gov, more so than Trump. Or when Pence lied and threw Flynn under the bus, and watched that happen without ever stepping up and telling the truth. It’s not just 2020 that Marks Pence a betrayer.
Constitutional scholars may disagree on what Pence could, couldn’t do, but surely they can agree re 1876 as to the precedent of the electoral commission and the outcome which protected the country.

I was a defender of Pence for a long time. His actions in January changed my mind.
Another case of Bagster being right.

Never liked Pence. Initially no real reason - just that gut feeling.
Can’t tell ya how many times, I’ve used logic to talk myself out of that initial gut feeling, and then regretted it. Too many times though. SMH - slow learner. Ha.
thanks.
The Electoral Count Act of 1887 was created because of 1876 and interestingly enough, didn’t include a section for an electoral commission. Instead, they had the “objections” process.
There was no precedent for VP Pence to create a commission. He could have asked Congress for it,(They created it for 1876 and probably could have done so again) but didn’t.
Course, trying the 2nd Impeachment of an out-of-office Pres. Trump and without the Chief Justice of the United States presiding, sure seemed unconsitutional...but nobody stepped up. The Senate could have “not received” the House managers, but Senate had changed hands and that wasn’t going to happen.
The Consitution sure seems to get ignored...a lot.
