Sigh!! The title totally misunderstands what voters wanted Pence to do.
They are NOT asking Pence to declare anyone the winner, he does not have the power to do that and even Trump acknowledges that.
They are asking Pence to SERIOUSLY CONSIDER the petition of the state legislatures who wrote to him to express their doubts about the accuracy of their results and the legality of choosing their electors.
It was the media that misled on what Pence actually could do or not do. They made it sound as if he would overturn the election when that was not the case at all.
I'm not aware of any petitions from any state legislatures.
There wer a few letters from a minority of state legislators but nothing with any official weight that Pence could have even considered.
Thank you...are we now filled with ignorant freeprs or are they trolls
No they were asking him to adhere to the rules set forth by the constitution. He did not. He knew the electors from the Sox states were not legal as they were sent up by the governers and NOT their legislatures as required by the constitution. Not only did pence stab the president in the back. He was the one who pulled the trigger in negating the Constitution.
“They are asking Pence to SERIOUSLY CONSIDER the petition of the state legislatures who wrote to him to express their doubts about the accuracy of their results and the legality of choosing their electors.”
No state legislature did such a thing. A few members of various state legislatures did.
Those “serious concerns” came individual legislators or legislators acting in concert as rump legislature. No state legislature moved to rescind its electoral slate.
Exactly!!
It’s a shame I had to read 20 comments before finding one that made sense.
