“He has no constitutional authority to decide if the electoral votes certified and sent by the states are valid or not.”
Yours says: “Those responsible for conducting elections have no authority to determine if votes are valid or not”.
Does ANYONE believe that ? Do I really have to expound ?
The VP does not conduct an election. His sole purpose as outlined in the constitution is to make sure the votes are counted. That is the state certified votes are counted. There is only one set of state certified votes that will be opened in counted on Jan 6th and those show Biden winning the electoral college.
