Uh no Pence should have rejected the states with competing slates of electors and directed those states legislatures to straighten out their problems and then certify.

Did you just get here? There were NO competing electors. If electors could self-appoint I’d have been one or two or three.

What competing slates? Every state sent an electoral slate that had been approved by its governor and its state legislature - that's the only slate that matters. It's true that several states ignored their own voting laws in their elections, but Pence as vice-president did not have the authority to over-ride the decisions of governors and state legislatures regarding their state's electoral votes. Vote fraud obviously took place in multiple states, but that fraud could not be remedied by Pence or any other vice-president - the vice-president does not have that authority.

Everyone getting mad at Pence is getting mad at the wrong person. The fraud took place much earlier in the process and had to be addressed at the state level - expecting Pence to magically make it better after the fact is completely unrealistic.
