Technically yes. Except, Biden was chosen to run by a man who was not eligible to run. Therefore, it goes to the speaker of the house.

From what I have heard-from a retired fed judge, in his opinion, it should go to the states to adjudicate. And even he hasnt any idea the legal implications constitutionally. That is why they call it a constitutional crisis.

Well, I am no constitutional lawyer thats for sure.

The power’s that be will be looking for the simplest legal remedy, leaving the office open for any length of time is NOT acceptable, and it puts us at GREAT GREAT risk. VERY dangerous to have ANY waffeling in the transfer of power.

Irrelevant. The electors still voted for him to be VP, and that makes him the duly elected VP according to the Constitution.

The selection of VP candidates by major party nominees isn't a constitutionally mandated process, but merely a custom.
