Bullcrap. You apparently believe his only role is to be a tabulator. I don’t know why you believe this so fervently, but you are wrong. As a foreigner it might be hard to understand, but it’s true. He did have power do do much more than he did.
He made zero effort, and would have faced no negative consequences had he made an effort.
He is a swamp creature, always worked against Trump, and his final service to the DC party was to convey Trump out of office.
Here's the exact text of the 12th Amendment, dude. The highlighted items are mine.
The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President ...
1. The VP's role is to be a "tabulator." It says nothing about certifying or making any determination about the electoral vote certificates. It says they should be COUNTED.
2. I believe this so fervently because that's what it says very clearly. I'm not sure why that's so hard for anyone to grasp.
