So VP Dick Cheney can refuse to verify the EC vote.

VP is President of the Senate - only role really is to be a tie breaker AND to make the final validation count of votes from the Electoral College.

I had a buddy that said wouldn't it be great if Chaney took the votes, threw them in a bag, tossed them in the trunk of a car a drove west into the sunset???

If there is no certified majority from the EC, the race goes to the House of Representatives. So it would be a bit of melodramatic political theater at most.

Drove west and gave them to the Minnesota board of elections, to provide the missing votes for Al Franken.
