If Trump wins the election outright, watch how quickly all the Freepers who claimed that VP Mike Pence had the authority to refuse to certify the 2020 election in January 2021 suddenly change their minds and realize they DO have brains after all. :-P

The details are fuzzy, but some time recently there was a crackpot theory that the VP had the power to refuse to certify. Now clarified by statute, there is no such discretion

I believe it’s the President of the Senate, not the Veep, though they are often the same person. Not expecting a tie, but it might be interesting to watch who might be President of the Senate pro tem.

She doesn’t certify squat.
She would preside over the election in the Senate. The States would “certify” the Electors. Once it gets to the Senate, there is little else to do. Which is what Pence tried to explain, but some people couldn’t actually get through their thick heads.
It will be over in December when the states certify their votes.
