Well said. If a VP could disregard electoral votes, VP Gore would have been elected in the 2000 election. And, Richard Nixon would have been elected in the 1960 election. The Dems objected to the EVs for the 2000 election, to no avail.

Yours is totally wrong.
Yours says... the outcome NOW depends on choices others made in other circumstances... not on the choices made NOW... while pretending actors now have no ability to make different choices. Beyond being brain dead stupid on the reality that choices made matter... it misses the point, entirely, in recognizing the division between “choices to be made” and “what the rules require”.
The rules require... Pence to make choices.
Those who want a particular choice made... are arguing, WRONGLY, that he has no power to make choices.
